Sadio Mane: Social Media Set Ablaze as Statue of Senegal Star Drops
- A Senegalese artist has sculpted a statue of the country’s football legend and Bayern Munich star Sadio Mane
- The statue posted on social media has drawn massive mixed reactions, with many taking a dig at the artist
- Sadio Mane helped Senegal win their first-ever Africa Cup of Nations title after beating Egypt on penalties
A statue of Senegal legend Sadio Mane has drawn massive reactions from fans of the player on social media.
The statue, designed and built by a Senegalese artist, was spotted in the player’s hometown of Bambali.
The sculpture was designed with the player in a Senegalese jersey, reminiscent of one of his celebrations during AFCON 2021.
However, it did not bear the resemblance of Mane, leaving fans of the Bayern Munich star unhappy.
Mane is revered in Senegal, after leading the West African nation to their first Africa Cup of Nation success early this year.
The 30-year-old forward joined Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window from Liverpool and has since been an important player for the German outfit.
