“Look at Salah and Sadio (Mane), who also played in the Africa Cup of Nations final. What they did after coming back from the tournament was incredible. They are like monsters,” said Wenger as quoted by Goal.
“In Europe maybe the players will protest because they played a lot of games. Tonight, Mane was fantastic throughout the game,” he concluded.
