  • Sadio Mane caught up with his former teammate at Liverpool, Alisson Becker
  • The two faced each other when Senegal took on Brazil in a friendly in Portugal
  • Mane and Alisson won the Premier League and the Champions League together

Sadio Mane shared a beautiful moment with his former Liverpool teammate, Alisson Becker, at the end of an international friendly on June 20.

Mane's Senegal squared up against South American giants, Brazil, at the Estadio Jose Alvalade in Lisbon, Portugal.

The Bayern Munich forward scored twice to help his side record a shock 4-2 result over the five-time World Champions.

Lucas Paqueta opened the scoring after 11 minutes, but Habib Diallo restored parity soon after. Marquinhos scored an own goal, followed by Mane's first score of the encounter in quick succession.

His goal came after a wonderful build-up that saw Ederson parry out the initial attempt by Ismailla Sarr.

Mane then rolled back the years to his prime time in the EPL, curling a beautiful shot that wheezed past the Manchester City goalkeeper.

Marquinhos made amends by reducing the deficit on the other end, but Mane stepped up again in injury time to score the game's sixth goal from the spot.

Mane's moment with Alisson

After the game, Mane was spotted chatting with Alisson, who was an unused substitute. The two turned out for Liverpool for four years before the Senegalese star last year after the UCL final heartbreak to Real Madrid.

The two exchanged jerseys, with Mane wearing Alisson's as he left the pitch. The 31-year-old has not had the best of seasons in Germany, with reports previously indicating he would leave after just one season in the Bundesliga.

He will be seeking to have more impact on Thomas Tuchel's side next season.

Mane linked with Saudi move

However, Sports Brief previously reported that Bayern Munich forward, Mane could seal a shock transfer to Saudi Arabia, after appearing as a target for the oil-rich kingdom.

The Senegalese has had a torrid time since joining the Bundesliga and has been consistently linked with a move away from the reigning German champions by next season.

There is yet to be an official offer from a Saudi Arabian club for the Senegalese international, yet Mane is reportedly wanted by the country - even if the move did come later.
