# Liverpool: Fans in awe of Sadio Mane after he pays homage to people in his hometown of Bambali

**Plenty of Liverpool fans heaped praise on winger Sadio Mane after he made glowing comments about the people in his hometown.**

The 27-year-old recently picked up the [2019 CAF African Player of the Year award](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/381773-sadio-mane-wins-caf-african-player-of-the-year-award) after winning the Champions League in Madrid, the Super Cup in Istanbul and the Club World Cup in Doha. He also claimed a share of the Premier League Golden Boot, along with the African duo of Mohamed Salah and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (as per [premierleague.com](https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/players/goals?se=274)).

Indeed, his impressive trophy collection was helped by his own personal contribution to Jurgen Klopp’s side. Mane has managed [15](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sadio-mane/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/200512) goals and conjured up [11](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sadio-mane/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/200512) assists in 31 appearances. This is compared to his [26](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sadio-mane/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/200512) goals in 50 outings during the 2018/19 campaign, which has helped towards some of his team’s achievements. He told the [club’s official website](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/386247-i-wanted-to-make-my-village-proud-sadio-mane-on-winning-caf-award) that he was always driven by the support of the people of his hometown Bambali in Senegal.

Unsurprisingly, many Liverpool supporters were in awe of Mane’s attitude as a player with a seemingly humble approach with life. One fan said that he is “one of a kind”, while another described him as the “perfect player”.
