Sadio Mane reacts to iconic Liverpool song after five-year-old footage emerges

Former Liverpool star Sadio Mane has reacted to a parody song five years after re-enacting it with German journalist Christian Falk.

The 31-year-old's six-year spell on Merseyside came to an end in the summer after he completed his £35m move to Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich. He arrived from Southampton and went on to score 120 goals in 269 appearances for the Reds - leaving Anfield with an impressive trophy haul.

This week, SportBILD ran an exclusive with the Senegal attacker where he spoke about Liverpool's misfortune this season as well as the parting message that he received from five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo upon departing Jurgen Klopp's side.

In 2018, a song was sweeping the fan base in a parody of the Archies' iconic song: 'Sugar, Sugar'. Kevin Murphy and Marc Kenny produced the song that featured odes to Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and the sale of Philippe Coutinho.

During that time, Mane and his two strike partners had forged a flourishing partnership which proved profitable for Klopp. In 2020, they surpassed a significant landmark as they made it to a combined 250 goals for the club – Salah scored 94 in 148 games, ahead of Mané with 79 from 166 and Firmino's 77 from 240.

Falk reunited with the attacker five years after their initial meeting where they re-created the catchy song. The ex-Red reacted to their recreation in a video released by the German journalist on his YouTube Shorts channel.

"I was surprised because it was the first time," he replied when he was asked what he thought of the moment in 2018, adding: "It was funny. Top, I like it."
