Liverpool is bidding to become the first English club to lift all four major trophies in a single season.

Jurgen Klopp’s side has already won the League Cup and now they are through to a first FA Cup final appearance since 2012 thanks to Mane’s goals at Wembley.

Ibrahima Konte headed Liverpool in front before Mane punished a mistake from City keeper Zack Steffen.

The Senegal forward netted again before half-time and second-half strikes from Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva weren’t enough for City.

With Liverpool just one point behind Premier League leaders City with seven games left and facing a Champions League semi-final against Villarreal, Mane knows they could be on the verge of football immortality.

The Senegal forward admitted it was a big boost to beat title rivals City, who are also in the Champions League semi-finals, given their intense rivalry with Pep Guardiola’s men.

“It’s special. It’s a big win to win a semi-final and we are very happy to qualify for the final,” Mane said.
