Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is delighted with the form Sadio Mane this season.

Mane has scored eight times this season including the 2-0 win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.

That haul is already half of what he achieved in 48 appearances during a lacklustre season last term.

Klopp said, "He is in top shape and in a top moment. I think his goal on Wednesday, and his impact for the goal, was maybe under-rated or under-estimated.

"It would never have been a chance if Sadio had not got rid of four or five Atletico players, and we all know how Atletico played.

"Getting through that stalemate without going down, staying on his feet, passing the ball to the outside and immediately seeing the opportunity.

"That sums up the shape that Sadio is in at the moment, which is pretty good.

"I'm really, really happy for him.

"I didn't see [his form] that critically last year, but if he was not happy then that's fine. And if he wants to improve that's fine.

"If David Moyes says he can improve after 999 games then we can do that as well and that is what we are working on. Sadio as well.

"I am really happy about the shape at the moment."
