Sadio Mane responds to Ronaldo’s gesture of giving him a penalty in Al Nassr’s win over Al Khaleej

Sadio Mane has shared his excitement after scoring in the King's Cup game between Al-Nassr FC and Al-Khaleej on Wednesday as the Saudi giants reached the final.

The Senegal forward converted from the spot after Cristiano Ronaldo unselfishly handed him the ball for Al-Nassr's second of the match.

Ronaldo scored a brace on the night as the Knight of Najd progressed with a 3-1 victory at the expense of Al-Khaleej.

Mane and his teammates are poised to end the season with a trophy after reaching the Saudi King's Cup final.

"Onto the King's Cup final," Mane wrote on X, with the video of his spot-kick.

Onto the King's Cup Final! 💙💛
