CAF Awards: Is Sadio Mane really better than Man City star Riyad Mahrez

Image
Its difficult to understand why Sadio Mane is the 2019 Africa Footballer of the Year whereas Riyad Mahrez lifted more trophies than him in Europe {4 to 1} and edge past in the final of the Africa Cup of Nation. 

 Mahrez helped Algeria win the Africa Cup for the Nation for the first time in 25-years which frankly should be enough to make him Africa's best player. He was simply unstoppable in Egypt and his three goals and 4 assists ensured Algeria where champions not Senegal or host nation Egypt. 

 CAF's decision to pick Sadio Mane ahead of Riyad Mahrez is simply because of Liverpool's winning streak and his immerse contribution to their course and nothing else.

 The organizing body failed to see the impact of Mahrez during league and cup matches with Manchester City as well as his world class impact during the just concluded Africa Cup of Nation. 
Image
With Algeria, he was simply unstoppable, he created more chances than Mane and Salah combined and scored the needed goals to send Algeria through to the final of the tournament. His goal against Nigeria was sensational. 

 Facing Senegal with Mane in it wasn't easy though but Mahrez did his best and won the AFCON for the Desert Foxes. 

 Sadly, just like skewed Ballon d'Or which Lionel Messi won the Africa Footballer of the Year is now been compromised which frankly is a big shame.

Will Liverpool crumble if Virgil van Dijk is ruled out for the rest of the season?

Virgil van Dijk is a world class defender, a leader and above all a professional player who knows ever detail of his job and how to do it. He posses the aerial prowess to trouble any defense in the world, the incisive passes to build the game from the back and the vocal communication to speak to any player/defender and keep him check.  What really makes him special which Jurgen Klopp can attest is his desire to improve and help others improve as well.  The 27-year-old Dutch international have made Liverpool a world class team and today their European champions.  But the question remains, what will happen if Van Dijk is ruled out for the rest of the season?
