As we eagerly anticipate the start of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast from January 13 to February 11, let's reminisce about the thrilling final of the previous edition between Senegal and Egypt, which went to a penalty shootout.

In that final, both the "Lions of Teranga" and the "Pharaohs" were evenly matched and strong, featuring two of Liverpool's great stars at that time: Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah.

Due to the parity between these two powerhouse teams, the AFCON 2021 final held in Cameroon (which ended 0-0 in regular time) had to be decided in a penalty shootout, making it one of the most exciting ones in memory. Senegal ultimately emerged victorious, claiming their first African Cup title.
