But Mane was so keen to kick off the celebrations, he accidentally missed Senegal president Macky Sall's offer of a handshake.
Sall was dishing out the winner's medals to Senegal stars after their nervy win over Egypt.
Mane had earlier missed a penalty in normal time before becoming the hero by slotting home the decisive kick of the shootout, as he consoled Liverpool pal Mohamed Salah.
And the Reds whiz - who was named in the Afcon best XI - was so eager to kickstart the party he left Sall hanging as he went in for a handshake.
Fans were left in stitches as Mane forgetfully collected his medal before turning around and copying club-mate Roberto Firmino's trademark celebration.
Later that night, Mane posed in bed with the Afcon trophy after wild dressing room celebrations.
