In 2011, Sadio Mané left Senegal and arrived in France at FC Metz.
He then wanted to send a photo to his mother but had no camera and very little money.
He asked a journalist to take a picture. The journalist took it & asked for his email address to send him the picture, but Mane didn't even have one at that time.
"Sadio saw I had a camera. He asked me to take a picture because he wanted to show his mother. He then asked 'It's free, right?'", The reporter revealed.
The rest is history, Mane fought his way to RB Salzburg and then joined Premier League at Southampton. He signed for Liverpool in 2016.
He is now a Champions League and Golden Boot winner, the best player of Africa.
