Liverpool FC star Sadio Mane sends Premier League title warning to Man City

Forward Sadio Mane has warned Man City that Liverpool will 'try again' for the Premier League next season and that the experience of the title race will be of benefit to the side.

City and Liverpool slugged it out in the most competitive and high quality title race in league history, with the Reds finishing just a point behind the champions after amassing the best ever points total, 97, for a team finishing in second place,.

Which would have won the league any other season aside from the last two, which were both claimed by City.

The Blues went onto become the mens first team in English football history to win a domestic treble but fell short in the Champions League after being knocked out at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur in agonising circumstances.

Liverpool, on the other hand, advanced to their second successive final after a miraculous comeback against Barcelona and will face Tottenham in Madrid.

Speaking from Liverpool's training camp in Marbella, Mane congratulated City but said that their victory is now in the past.

"We were a bit unlucky because we wanted to win the league – this was our target – but in football, we try and try again," the Senegalese told Liverpool's official website.

"It didn’t happen this time, but we have the experience (of a title race) and now we are in a final, which is another target that’s very important for us.

"The league is behind us, Manchester City did so well and for sure they deserved it. We tested them, but we have to say congratulations and now we look forward to the final.

"It’s a big target for the season and hopefully we can do it."
