But before bagging a double, the Senegalese forward was left baffled after greeting Al Fateh defender Qassem Lajami ahead of kick-off.

Seemingly unbeknown to the Liverpool legend, the 27-year-old is a twin of his Al Nassr teammate Ali Lajami.

Ali was not named in the matchday squad, but Qassem started the encounter, with Mane left seeing double after shaking his hand.

Another joked: "Bruh was like wait a minute."

A third quipped: "Bro for one second "is this illusion'."
