Bayern star lauds Mane
In a recent interview with Goal.com, Bayern Munich's rising star, 18-year-old Mathys Tel, named Sadio Mane as the best player he has ever played alongside.
Tel, who has been gaining prominence in Thomas Tuchel's team this season, has contributed to 10 goals in 28 games, according to Fotbmob data.
Reflecting on his burgeoning career, Tel highlighted Mane's significant impact on him, stating,
"Sadio Mane. He has helped me a lot. Last year, he pushed me a lot. After training, we would go to the gym to train together. Honestly, he was like a big brother to me. He helped me a lot."
Tel's praise for Mane came as a surprise to many, considering Mane's time at the club was perceived by some as underwhelming, especially given that Tel has also played alongside elite stars like Thomas Muller and, for a period, Robert Lewandowski.
