In the Champions League, Mane scored 10 times in just 11 appearances as the club reached the Champions League final against Real Madrid.Mane captained Senegal at the 2018 World Cup, and scored in his side's 2-2 draw with Japan. However, they were eliminated at the group stages, losing 1-0 to Colombia after beating Poland 2-1 in their opening game.</blockquote>
