Despite dominating the ball for long periods and having the vast majority of the chances on the night,
a second-half finish from Vinicius Jr saw Los Blancos snatch victory in Paris to secure their 14th European Cup success.
Mane’s future had been uncertain before kick-off amid interest from Bayern Munich, with his contract at Anfield due to expire in 2023.
The forward revealed he would give an answer over his next move following the match
– first suggesting he might leave Liverpool, and then hinting he would stay.
True to his word, the forward gave a more definitive insight into where his future lies after the agonising Champions League final defeat.
Speaking to AS, the Senegal international said:
“I want to thank the [Liverpool] fans for everything and the coach too. I wish this team all the best in the world.”
