Sadio Mané departed Bayern Munich for Al Nassr, where he now plays with Cristiano Ronaldo. The Senegalese, who has only recently joined the club, must help it win its first trophy. In Saudi Arabia, though, he is obligated to speak about Mohamed Salah.
On Saturday, Al Nassr faced Kalidou Koulibaly’s Al Hilal in the Arab Cup of Champions Clubs final. Sadio Mané’s team won 2-1 thanks to a double from the unstoppable 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 almost certainly welcome Salah next season.
Despite himself, Sadio Mané attacks Mo Salah…
In the Arab Cup Champions Cup final, Al Nassr defeated Al Hilal. A journalist spoke with Sadio Mané during the celebrations. Instead of pressing him about Al Nassr’s performance, he concentrated on his former Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah.
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.
