Liverpool teammates Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane are getting ready to face off against each other in the Africa Cup of Nations final in Cameroon this weekend after Egypt beat the hosts on penalties on Thursday to set up a clash with Senegal.

This combination of file pictures made on February 4, 2022, shows, at left, Egypt’s forward Mohamed Salah in Garoua on January 15, 2022; and Senegal’s forward Sadio Mane in Yaounde on February 2, 2022. – Senegal will face Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations 2021 final football match, scheduled for February 6, 2022, at Stade d’Olembe in Yaounde.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp could have been forgiven for wishing both players had been knocked out of the tournament sooner so they could return to Anfield, but he expressed delight for the attacking duo on Friday. It will be a second AFCON final appearance for Salah, a member of the Egypt team beaten by Cameroon in the 2017 showpiece in Libreville.

The Lions of Teranga are Africa’s top-ranked national team but have never been continental champions, in stark contrast to Egypt and their record seven titles. He was shut out of most of the semi-final by the Cameroon defence, but Egypt hope he will be lead them to victory on Sunday.
