Liverpool striker Sadio Mane is excited ahead of their Champions League clash with RB Salzburg.

Mane will be facing one of his former teams when the Austrian side visit Anfield on Wednesday.

The Senegalese forward played at Red Bull Salzburg from 2012 to 2014 before he joined Southampton.

"It's a special game for me," Mane said.

"I played two-and-a-half years at Salzburg, and for sure they will be ready for me. I will be ready for them as well, I will be really happy to see my ex-team-mates but at the same time I would love to win."
