Introduction
Al Nassr surprised their Senegalese star Sadio Mane with an unexpected gift on his return to the club today, Friday, as the team prepared for upcoming matches.
Mane had helped Senegal lift the Africa Cup of Nations title by beating Morocco 1-0, a victory that kept him away from the 'Lions' for more than a month.
The club posted a video on its official social channels celebrating Mane, who received a warm welcome from the coaching staff and teammates, reflecting the strong harmony within the squad.
Cake, Ronaldo and a warm welcome
The celebration featured a large cake bearing Mane's image, with Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo cutting it amid festive vibes and wide support from everyone.
Mane said: "I am happy with what the club did for me; I did not expect it, and my goal is to help the team in upcoming fixtures."
Mane had also been named Africa Cup of Nations Best Player for the second time, after leading his country to the title in 2021.
Two light punchlines will appear at the end.
Punchline 1: The cake was the real MVP tonight—most valuable pastry.
Punchline 2: If Mane keeps this up, the cake might start scoring goals too, and Ronaldo could just responsible for dessert duty every matchday.
