Mane breaks Milito, Messi and Ronaldo's streak

At the age of 26, Mane has firmly established himself among the Premier League's elite attacking players.

Whatsmore, it was the Senegalese who raised his game to fill the rather large boots vacated by Mo Salah's injury in the Champions League final, albeit in a losing cause.

In scoring Liverpool's only goal in Kiev, the former Southampton man joined a select group of players to have scored in every round of the Champions League in the same installment of the competition.

After failing to score in his first two group games, before missing two more through injury, Mane came to life in late November, finally finding the net against Sevilla, before netting a brace against Spartak Moscow in the final group game.

A first-leg hat-trick against FC Porto in the last 16 followed, whilst Mane was also on target in Liverpool's 3-0 victory over Manchester City at Anfield in the first leg of their quarter-final tie.

Not content with his work so far, Mane's impressive form continued as he scored in both legs of the win over Roma, before prodding home Dejan Lovren's header in Kiev.

In doing so, Mane joined Diego Milito (2009/10), Lionel Messi (2010/11) and Cristiano Ronaldo (2013/14) in scoring in every round, with one slight difference. The Senegal international is the first player is the achieve the feat and not emerge victorious in the final. Whatsmore, despite his goalscoring, Mane was surprisingly left out of UEFA's Squad of the Season.
