A YOUNG opposition mascot was left completely star- struck by Sadio Mane before Bayern Munich's Bundesliga opener against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Mane, 30, made his debut for Bayern against Eintracht on Friday at the Deutsche Bank Park and shone bright for his new team, but he wasn't the only one that went viral.
The star winger took part in the usual pre-match ritual greetings between players and officials, who were accompanied by young mascots.
As the Senegal international made his way down the line he encountered one overly-excited boy, who was dressed in Eintracht gear with his arms crossed.
When the 30-year-old star made it in front of him the kid's eyes glowed as he stood in awe with his mouth open in the presence of the former Liverpool man.
Fans were totally moved by that hilarious moment and took to social media to praise the young boy.

One supporter tweeted: "This little boy represents me, when I meet Sadio Mane I will act this way."
Another posted: "Kid's going to be a Bayern mascot next time.."
And a third said: "We think he was a little star-struck."
But Mane probably didn't make it a perfect evening for the Eintracht mascot as he scored Bayern's third goal.
