Sadio Mané Says 2019 Salah Spat Was Resolved the Next Day

His account challenges years of speculation driven by viral footage of his Turf Moor outburst.

Overview

  • Speaking on Rio Ferdinand Presents, Mané said Mohamed Salah approached him the day after Liverpool’s win at Burnley to explain the missed pass and clear the air.
  • Mané described Salah as a very nice person and said the episode ultimately brought them closer rather than creating a lasting feud.
  • He framed the incident as a product of a striker’s shoot-first mindset, saying Salah’s decision was not personal and reflected his drive to score.
  • Mané recounted his visible anger on the bench during the 2019 match after being substituted, a moment that fueled years of rivalry narratives.
  • He praised Roberto Firmino’s selflessness and highlighted a particularly strong on‑field partnership with Andy Robertson during Liverpool’s trophy‑winning era.
