Watch Sadio Mane appear to SNUB handshake from Senegal president after Afcon win before copying Firmino's celebration
SADIO MANE accidentally snubbed the president of Senegal during his nation's wild Afcon celebrations.
The Liverpool star, 29, scored the winning penalty as he led his nation to their first-ever Afcon crown.
But Mane was so keen to kick off the celebrations, he accidentally missed Senegal president Macky Sall's offer of a handshake.
Sall was dishing out the winner's medals to Senegal stars after their nervy win over Egypt.
Mane had earlier missed a penalty in normal time before becoming the hero by slotting home the decisive kick of the shootout, as he consoled Liverpool pal Mohamed Salah.
And the Reds whiz – who was named in the Afcon best XI – was so eager to kickstart the party he left Sall hanging as he went in for a handshake.
Fans were left in stitches as Mane forgetfully collected his medal before turning around and copying club-mate Roberto Firmino's trademark celebration.
Later that night, Mane posed in bed with the Afcon trophy after wild dressing room celebrations.

Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy ensured fans could join in the party with a series of behind-the-scenes videos on Instagram.
Mendy uploaded a series of clips of the jubilant celebrations, as the Senegal squad sang their hearts out even in their hotel corridor.
Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly, ex-Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye and Crystal Palace's Cheikhou Kouyate all copied Mane in sharing a snap of themselves with the trophy in bed.
On his nation's win, Mendy added: "We are proud. We never won it before.
"We worked really hard to win this trophy and today we won as a group and as a country and that is why I am super proud.
"The shooters in the penalties did really well, I tried to do my best to save one shot and I did that, so I am super happy."
Earlier in the tournament, selfless Mane is claimed to have paid a child's hospital bill in full during his visit after sustaining a concussion.
Their child had suffered terrible injuries after being hit by a motorbike, and the family could not afford treatment, according to Seneweb.
Mane caught wind of the news while in his hospital bed and gave the family over £500 to help care for the boy.
