SADIO MANE revealed Liverpool’s stars are ‘sacrificing’ themselves in a bid to end the club’s 30-year title wait.
The Reds were ‘hurt in the head mentally’ by losing out on the Premier League in May.

But Senegal forward Mane, 27, reckons a repeat is not on the cards.
He said: “We’ve learned from the mistakes of last year.
“That was a tough time for us. You have to keep trying to be mentally sharp.
“If you lose the league that hurts you in the head mentally, so we always focus on the same target — to win something.
“There are so many games but tiredness is in the head. This is not a problem for us.
“I think we’re better this season than last year.
“You have to sacrifice yourself when you’re in our situation. You deal with it and keep going until the end.”
Liverpool host Wolves tomorrow — the club’s 12th game in just 36 days. They made a statement at Leicester on Boxing Day with a 4-0 win.
And Mane added: “It’s another adventure for us. Let’s keep working and try to keep things at the same level.”
