The hilarious moment a young child is left totally starstruck by Bayern Munich's Sadio Mane

Sadio Mane announced himself in the Bundesliga as he scored on his league debut during Bayern Munich's comfortable 6-1 victory over Europa League champions Eintracht Frankfurt.

Mane, however, found himself in the pre-match headlines before a ball was even kicked as his presence left a young Frankfurt mascot starstruck when players clapped hands with each other before kick off.

The Senegalese international saw his global stock rise during his time at former club Liverpool as he won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and League Cup during a six-year Anfield stint.

He also scored the winning penalty that helped Senegal clinch the Africa Cup of Nations over Egypt, along with helping them qualify for the World Cup in Qatar.

Bundesliga fans were therefore justifiably excited to see one of the world's best talents take to the pitch for the first time in Germany, with one mascot hilariously struggling to contain his excitement as Mane passed him.

A viral video showed Mane and his Bayern Munich team-mates going through the pre-match greeting rituals with officials and opposition players.

But as the 30-year-old made his way further down the line, excitement continued to grow for the mascot before eventually boiling over.

As other mascots started to leave the pitch, the young Frankfurt fan was left stood with his arms crossed, gawping up at the Munich star that passed directly in front of him.

He then turned on the spot and continued to follow Mane down the line with his eye firmly locked onto the superstar before leaving the pitch for kick off.

The young Frankfurt supporter may have not been as happy with the striker once the match had kicked off with Mane scoring the third goal during Munich's high-scoring rout.

Mane is not only recognised for his on-pitch heroics but also his charitable efforts of the pitch back in his home country Senegal where has previously donated funds for a hospital to be built in his home village of Bambali and also funded a new secondary school in the area as well.

The former Premier League star left Liverpool this summer in search of a new challenge at Bayern Munich.
