MANE, the world champion footballer, has defended his position as the best player in the Champions League after securing a record-breaking second consecutive title for the club.

The 31-year-old midfielder has been a key figure in Mane's success at Manchester City, scoring 64 goals in all competitions this season and helping to guide the team to their first Champions League trophy since 2019.

In a recent interview with Sky Sports News, Mane defended his title, stating that he is "not just a striker" but also a "goalkeeper".

"I think I am the best goalkeeper in the Premier League," he said. "I can't be described as just a striker or a goal scorer. I am a complete player."

Mane added: "It was not easy to win the league twice in a row. It takes a lot of hard work and determination to get there."

He went on to praise his teammates for their support during the campaign, saying: "Everyone worked really hard together and we were able to do well."

Despite the challenges faced by the squad throughout the season, Mane remained confident in his abilities and continued to perform at the highest level.

"The team is always striving to improve," he said. "We have to keep pushing forward and continue to work hard to reach our full potential."

As the season comes to a close, Mane looks set to retain his place as the top player in Europe once again. His performances have earned him widespread admiration from fans and media alike, and he will undoubtedly continue to be a major force in the game for many years to come.
