It was very rarely spoken about, but there was no doubt that Mo and Mane had a bit of a rocky relationship.
Around 2020, Mane basically stopped celebrating goals. Even when he scored, his emotions were extremely muted. Some people thought it was due to his religion and trying to be modest, but it was fairly obvious there was more to it. You could often see Bobby trying to get Mane to celebrate goals and joke with him when he scored. The thing was, Bobby kept getting injured so he couldn’t play that role in the team as often.
In the end, if nothing else, it shows the level of professionalism within the squad and the brilliance of Klopp. Even with stuff going on in the background, none of this nonsense leaked out and the team generally speaking performed at a high level. When we had our dips, they were easy to explain and almost always down to injuries and a lack of transfers.
I ageee. Also If we had won the champions league in 2022, Mane would’ve probably deservedly or not won the Ballon d’or. I think the toxicity between the two of them would’ve reached an apogee if that occurred.

Him not celebrating his team mates goals always seemed so weird to me. And he did celebrate his goals at least a little, which made it kinda worse.
