At last, Liverpool teammates, Mohamed Salah of Egypt and Sadio Mane of Senegal will trade tackle with each other as their coutries clash in the final of the ongoing 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon.

The Egyptian Pharaohs are chasing a record-extending eighth African crown while Senegal’s Teranga Lions anticipate their first title.
Egypt defeated hosts Cameroon 3-1 on penalties at the end of a goalless 120 minutes in Yaounde Thursday.
This was Egypt’s third extra time in the tournament, after defeating Ivory Coast in the last 16 and Morocco in the quarter-finals.
Senegal overcame Burkina Faso 3-1 in normal time in their semifinal match.
The AFCON final is slated for Sunday, February 6, 2022 at 8 pm, as 2017 runners-up Egypt take on 2019 runners-up Senegal.
Among the European-based stars at AFCON, Mane’s big influence in matches involving Senegal is only comparable to Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah’s influence on Egypt.
Neither player has had the honour of lifting the trophy so far in their illustrious careers.
