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.

Ronaldo has fired Portugal to brink of Euro 2020 qualification after scoring a hat-trick {his 56th career hat-tick} in Portugal's 6-0 win over Lithuania.  The 34-year-old has now scored 98 International goals in 163 games and looks likely to reach a century when Portugal take on Luxembourg on Sunday.  Sarri thought for moment he could be the coach to close the book on Ronaldo, the man who will finally tell Cristiano Ronaldo; 'You're just not good enough and have to sit on the bench or leave'.  But how wrong was he, Ronaldo posses a giant mentality and hates to be told he is not good enough to play or last the entire match.. Against Lithuania, it sparked him back to live and give him another reason to keep fighting and proving to each and everyone who doubted him that he is the best player in the world.
