Coach, Julian Nagelsmann also toyed around with the idea of moving Mané to the wing, a position he excelled in while at Liverpool. He also received the backing of the club's sporting director, who added that Mané just needed time to adjust to his new surroundings.

Mané's goal was the icing on the cake of an impressive first half. Jamal Musiala was the star of the first 45 minutes, though. He set up the first goal, scored the second goal and also set up the third, which Mané scored.

The 19-year-old was involved in every big moment and controlled the game like a seasoned pro.
