The "great" player from Senegal played for Liverpool for six years and won everything. He will be remembered as one of the club's all-time greats, but at the end of the previous campaign, he made the decision to leave Anfield and join Bayern Munich, Prior to the World Cup, Senegal was considered one of the underdogs,
But as it was revealed that Mane would not be competing, that perception soon shifted.
Although Alexander-Arnold confessed he was "gutted" for his former teammate, he acknowledged that it will be simpler for England when the two teams face off on Sunday, Mane was praised by the Liverpool defender, who called him the world's best left winger.
Additionally, he acknowledged that it was never pleasant to come up against him when training.
According to Alexander-Arnold, Sadio "brings a whole distinct perspective to that (Senegal) side, that is all that needs to be said; I believe he placed top-three in the Ballon d'Or this year. As awful as it may sound, the fact that we are not competing against this world-class player is probably to our advantage.
I've played against him in practice, and it's not a pleasant experience, so I only say it out of pure respect. I consider him to be one of, if not the best, left-wingers in the world, that he had to miss this competition completely devastated me. Not only has Mane's absence been a huge loss for Senegal in the World Cup, but it has also been disastrous for Liverpool.
The Reds' Premier League season thus far hasn't gone well. They have only won six of their first 14 games, and they are now 15 points behind Arsenal, who are in first place. Liverpool has escaped tight situations on countless occasions over the years because to Mane's ability to score huge goals at crucial times.
