Sadio Mane receives congrats from Cristiano Ronaldo on reaching 100 international caps for Senegal

In a heartwarming gesture, Cristiano Ronaldo and his Al-Nassr teammates surprised Sadio Mane with a personalized cake to commemorate the Senegalese star achieving his 100th international cap last weekend.

 

Celebrating this significant milestone in style, Mane showcased his prowess on Saturday by scoring two goals against South Sudan, contributing to Senegal’s commanding 4-0 victory in their inaugural 2026 World Cup qualifier.

 

Al-Nassr took to social media on Thursday, sharing footage of Mane jubilantly celebrating the achievement with his teammates and cutting a specially crafted cake adorned with his image in the national jersey.

 

Ronaldo, seen smiling and laughing in the video, handed Mane a knife to cut the cake, adding a jovial touch to the occasion. The harmonious atmosphere within the camp was evident as chants of ‘Sadio’ welcomed the Senegalese star onto the pitch.

 

Former Liverpool player Mane, who made a £34 million move to Al-Nassr from Bayern Munich last summer, stands as Senegal’s all-time leading goal-scorer and is second in appearances, trailing only Everton’s Idrissa Gana Gueye. The celebration marks a testament to Mane’s illustrious career and the camaraderie within the Al-Nassr squad.
