Sadio Mane’s sad admission in relation to Liverpool’s season | OneFootball

Liverpool forward Sadio Mane has recently been talking about the club’s 2020-21 campaign.

Liverpool are currently sitting in sixth-place on the Premier League table. The Reds are 19 points behind league leaders Manchester City.

Liverpool have dropped points in 14 out of 25 Premier League fixtures this season.

With that being the case, Mane does not believe that Liverpool can win the Premier League title this season.

Speaking to ESPN Brazil, as quoted by Sports Mole, Mane said: “Our target from the beginning was [winning] the Champions League, the Premier League and also cup games. And now, I can say it’s over for the Premier League… it’s too much.

“In our head, our self-belief, it’s always ‘never give up’, and we won’t give up, but for sure, Manchester [City] are a good team and they’re flying.

“The Champions League, that is our main, main, main target. To win it, not be second, but it won’t be easy. You’re going to face the best teams in Europe, but we’re here to beat the best in the world. We’ll do everything possible to go forward and win the Champions League.”

ANFIELD WATCH VERDICT

We find it incredibly sad that Liverpool have not been able to challenge for the Premier League title this season.

We believe that the reigning champions are so much better than what they are currently showing.

But, injuries have ultimately derailed Liverpool’s season, which is quite sad. Too many players have been missing for large parts of the season.

We are confident that the Reds will challenge for the Premier League title next season. The reality is, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp will have a full squad to pick from.

Liverpool accumulated 97 and 99 points across the past two seasons. Liverpool had a fully fit squad for both campaigns.

With that being the case, we believe Klopp’s Liverpool will be back.
