Yaounde: Egypt or Senegal? Or maybe a more absorbing question for world soccer fans: Mohamed Salah or Liverpool teammate Sadio Mane?
Sunday’s African Cup of Nations final in Cameroon will centre on two of the continent’s biggest stars, now global stars, when Salah’s Egypt try to reclaim their lost glory against Mane’s Senegal, who are seeking a first title and the right to finally call themselves the best in Africa.
The two forwards will be on opposing sides at the Olembe Stadium in Yaounde and while their teams are playing for bigger rewards, there will be significant focus on who wins the personal battle between the club mates.
One of them is set for unrestrained joy and his first major title with his country. One is set for more misery. Salah lost in the final with Egypt in 2017, and Mane was inconsolable after Senegal lost in the final in 2019.
