Mané reveals conversation with Ronaldo, hopes to face PSG

Football superstar Sadio Mané has returned from injury, just in time for some crucial matchups. Bayern Munich will need all the support they can get as they hope to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, as well as competing in a very tight Bundesliga race. 

Mané didn’t play in the first leg against Paris Saint-Germain but he thought the team controlled the game very well. Bayern head back to Munich in a good situation but anything can happen against such a strong team.

“I watched the game on TV with my friends. I’m very nervous and make a lot of comments when I watch games on TV. But I had confidence in our boys. Even when Kylian Mbappé came on, he’s a great player who had influence on the game - but our defenders can stop him,” Mané told Sport Bild.

Mané mentioned de Ligt and Upamecano as standout defenders for Bayern who are capable of stopping the best in the world, even Mbappe, Neymar, and Messi. Despite how good Bayern has been in the competition, Mané remains humble.

Mané: "It would be wrong to think that nobody can compete with us. If we think like that, a bad surprise can happen very quickly. There are great teams in this competition. First we have to play the second leg"

Mané is known for his humble mannerism and of course, there is no time to get cocky when playing a team such as PSG. Despite the goal advantage, PSG surely has plenty of fight left in them.

Meanwhile, Mané’ has revealed conversation he had with Cristiano Ronaldo following move Bayern Munich.

Mane was vacationing in Mallorca when he ran into Ronaldo.

Speaking to Sport Bild Mané detailed exactly what the two spoke about (at least regarding Bayern Munich anyway).

“I met Cristiano Ronaldo in Mallorca before this season after my move was completed. He congratulated me and told me: ‘A great club! This is a great step for you’,” Mané said. “That says everything about the Bundesliga and underlines what I’ve already said: I think you underestimate the Bundesliga here. The recent performances in the Champions League prove that.”

Interestingly, Bayern Munich was linked to the former Real Madrid mega-star at just about the same time that the duo had their conversation. While Ronaldo is not exactly his former self these days, Mané will be looking to prove that he has fully bounced back from his injury in the coming games.
