Latest Liverpool news: Sadio Mane’s boots sent into space ahead of Chelsea game
The Mirror reports that Sadio Mane’s New Balance Furon V5 boots were sent into space ahead of the Liverpool-Chelsea clash at the weekend.
Mane has been great for the Reds this season with 20 goals in all competitions, and the report claims that the signed boots were the first pair sent into space.
The report adds that the boots were attached to a special hydrogen-filled balloon and reached a height of 34,211 metres before coming down to earth.
The location of the drop hasn’t been shared and hopefully, we see Mane at his best against the Blues at the weekend.
Another huge battle for the Reds
Mane has scored some important goals for the Reds this season with strikes against Manchester United and Bayern Munich.
The Senegal star needs to do the same against Chelsea, which is our toughest remaining Premier League game of the season.
Liverpool lost to the Blues in the Carabao Cup and drew 1-1 earlier in a Premier League game at Stamford Bridge.
Three points are needed to keep Manchester City under pressure and the Cityzens have a game in hand on us.
Mane was speaking ahead of the clash between the two and hopes the Reds can finally lift the Premier League (h/t Mirror):
“It would be a dream come true,” he said. “Every player dreams to win trophies and there is no greater domestic prize than the Premier League.”
