Sadio Mane was on target as Liverpool suffered Champions League final heartache and wants another shot at Europe’s biggest prize.

Jurgen Klopp’s side stormed to the Champions League final in Kiev back in May, only for a shoulder injury suffered by talisman Mohamed Salah to hinder them in a 3-1 defeat against Real Madrid.

Mane was on target during the second half to briefly pull the Premier League team level and, ahead of Thursday’s draw for the group stage, the Senegal international feels last season’s experience can only be beneficial.

‘It was a very big sign for us. It was a bonus for us to learn and get those kinds of experiences,’ he told Liverpool’s official website.

‘We have played [big games] already and we know how. Now we have to do the same work on the pitch and the experience we had in the past will help.

‘It’s very early to speak about it but it’s why we’re always here working: to do anything possible.

‘We have the quality and everything to go throughout [the tournament], so why not?’

Liverpool’s fate in the draw was largely determined by the playoff encounter between Paok and Benfica, which saw the Portuguese giants wallop the Greek side 4-1 to be placed among the second seeded teams pot.
