Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists Sadio Mane's form hasn't yet peaked.
Klopp insists he's been happy with the striker's form this season.
In the matchday programme for the Champions League Benfica tie, Klopp writes: "Everyone who played for us on the day contributed to an important result, but I did want to pick out Sadio.
"It was his 30th birthday on the day of the game and he still looks as fresh and vibrant as when he joined this club as a younger professional.
"He is a machine. What he has done for this club and continues to do puts him in the bracket of 'legend'. For LFC and Senegal he is playing to his highest level possible.
"What's exciting is how he is getting better and stronger. When you see how he looks after himself and his commitment to his profession, turning 30 for him really is only a number.
"His attitude and character are elite. We are so appreciative of him and I know for sure the levels he reaches at the moment are not the peak – there is even more to come from this very special player."
