...Snubs Salah and Messi

In a revelation that shook fans across continents, Sadio Mané has unveiled his all-time five-a-side team made up solely of players he has shared the pitch with and the shockwaves are still rumbling.

No Mo Salah.

No Lionel Messi.

No apologies.

Instead, the Senegalese superstar went bold and brutally honest, picking a team built on steel, flair, and pure footballing chaos.

MANÉ’S FIVE-A-SIDE PICKS

• Virgil van Dijk – The Dutch wall. Calm, colossal, and the first name on the team sheet

• Kalidou Koulibaly – Senegal’s defensive beast. With him and VVD, good luck trying to score

• Philippe Coutinho – The magician. Even in tight spaces, the little Brazilian can unlock anything

• Roberto Firmino – Pressing king, link-up lord, and the heartbeat of Klopp’s golden era

• Cristiano Ronaldo – Because every fantasy team needs a ruthless finisher… and Mané wasn’t about to leave out one of football’s greatest

The omission of Salah, his longtime Liverpool partner in destruction, sent fans into a frenzy, with debates raging across social media. 

But Mané’s message was simple: he picked the players who left unforgettable marks on his game.

Love it or hate it, the lineup is stacked with power, elegance and superstar swagger, a five-a-side team built to bully, dance, and destroy.

And one thing’s for sure, Mané knows how to drop a list that gets the whole football world talking.
