Liverpool hero Gillespie: Bayern Munich will have to kick Mane out of game

Liverpool title winner Gary Gillespie believes Bayern Munich will have to kick Sadio Mane out of the game tomorrow night.

Mane was on fire yesterday as Liverpool came from behind to beat Burnley 4-2 at Anfield.

Former Bayern, Gillespie insists the only way to stop him is by taking him out.

“I would have let someone else kick him," he told LoveSport Radio.

“He's been fantastic this season, I think that's his highest goal tally for Liverpool and he does look a threat.

“They are so versatile up front.

Sadio Mane is thought of as a left or right winger but he can play anywhere along that front line.

“To be fair I think all three of them can.

“(Roberto) Firmino has had a little bit of a quieter season, certainly Salah has had a quieter season.

“But Mane, he's come to the fore and really has probably been out of the three of them the most consistent and the best."
