Bayern Munich striker Sadio Mane says winning the African Cup of Nations was the biggest moment of his career.

In February, Mane not only achieved his long-held ambition of seeing Senegal become champions but also scored the decisive spot-kick in the final against Egypt to ensure his nation lifted the trophy for the first time.

"Winning the African cup was the best trophy I have ever won in my life, because what made it even [more] special is my country had never won it before," he said, in the Moroccan capital Rabat, where he collected his Confederation of African Football Player of the Year award on Thursday night.

"Country success is always bigger [than club success] for sure, and I was really, really happy to win it.

"Of course, my dream is not only to win trophies with my country but all the trophies possible with my clubs - that is my target," added the man who also helped Senegal reach the World Cup and won two domestic cups with Liverpool this year.
