Despite a generally unsuccessful season, Al-Nassr and Sadio Mané managed to qualify for the King’s Cup of Saudi Arabian Champions.
This Wednesday, the international Senegalese and his band defeated Khaleej (3-1) in the semi-finals. The winner of CAN 2021 scored his team’s second goal by converting a penalty (37th), which Cristiano Ronaldo let him hit, the great architect of this qualification with a double (17th, 57th).

Mané received 4 out of 4!
Since his arrival in Saudi Arabia last summer, the Lion has scored in each of the four King’s Cup matches he has played! He has 18 goals and 9 assists in 40 matches in all competitions this season.
Outpaced by Al-Hilal in the race for the league title, eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Asian Champions League by Al-Ain, then recently in Saudi Arabia Super Cup semi-finals by Al-Hilal, his team will try to save its season in the final. It will be against the untouchable Al-Hilal of his compatriot Kalidou Koulibaly, killer on the eve of Al-Ittihad (2-1) in the other half.
