There was no place for both Sadio Mane and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the Caf best 11 released during the Caf Awards on Thursday night.

The Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund stars made the top three of the African Player of the Year prize, but were not considered good enough to be among the continent’s finest XI.

This year’s Africa 11 contains four Moroccans, three Tunisians with Nigeria’s Junior Ajayi and Tunisia’s Aymen Mathlouthi finding their way in the selection.
