WATCH: Cristiano Ronaldo leads hero's welcome for Sadio Mane after AFCON triumph

Sadio Mane returned to Riyadh after captaining Senegal to their second AFCON title in Morocco.

The Al-Nassr camp, led by Ronaldo, organised a special reception at the club’s training ground to honour Mane’s achievement.

In a viral video on social media channels, Ronaldo and fellow players greeting Mane enthusiastically with high-fives, hugs, and smiles as he arrived back at the facilities in Riyadh.

The scenes show the group giving the AFCON champion a hero's welcome, highlighting the strong team spirit at Al-Nassr.

Sadio Mane cemented his status as a continental legend by leading Senegal to glory at AFCON 2025 in Morocco. Serving as the heartbeat of the Teranga Lions, the 33-year-old was a model of consistency and leadership throughout the tournament.

He was equally creative and lethal in the final third, recording two goals and three assists.

Beyond the statistics, Mane’s work rate and veteran presence helped a younger generation of Senegalese talent navigate high-pressure knockout matches. His performances earned him a spot in the CAF Team of the Tournament, and he was named Player of the Tournament, beating out Morocco's Brahim Diaz.

His return is a massive boost for Al-Nassr, who are currently locked in a tight Saudi Pro League title race with Al-Hilal.
