Sadio Mané left Bayern Munich to join Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr. The Senegalese, who has only recently arrived, must assist the club in winning its first trophy. In Saudi Arabia, though, he is compelled to discuss Mohamed Salah.
Al Nassr met Kalidou Koulibaly’s Al Hilal in the final of the Arab Cup of Champions Clubs on Saturday. Sadio Mané’s team triumphed 2-1 courtesy to a double from the invincible Cristiano Ronaldo. As a result, Al Nassr won the trophy, the first for Sadio Mané and Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia, a country that will soon welcome Salah, most likely next season.
Sadio Mané tackles Mo Salah despite himself…
Al Nassr defeated Al Hilal in the Arab Cup Champions Cup final. During the celebrations, a journalist chatted with Sadio Mané. Instead of questioning him about Al Nassr’s success, the latter focused on Mohamed Salah, his former Liverpool teammate.
Sadio Mané responded in an unexpected way, with a relaxed expression and a bright smile. “There is no African Cup (CAN) in Salah.” He does not own an African Cup. “Senegal has the African Cup,” Sadio Mané exclaimed, overjoyed with his maiden trophy at Al Nassr.
Logically, this scenario has gone viral on the internet. Some supporters believe the former Bavarian was a little disrespectful to the pharaoh, who was a teammate and friend at Liverpool.
