Liverpool and Senegal forward Sadio Mane said he would exchange his Champions League title for a win over Algeria in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations on Friday. Senegal will be looking to win the tournament for the first time in Cairo having only reached the final once before in 2002. Speaking to the BBC, Mane said: “For sure, I would be ready (to swap), even today. Algeria coach Djamel Belmadi is confident his squad are ready to face the highest-ranked African team. We are focused and I rely on my players’ motivation and enthusiasm,” said Belmadi.
