Sadio Mane and Cristiano Ronaldo are enjoying a bromance at Al-Nassr, which has left the club’s supporters and fans worldwide in awe of their blossoming friendship.

Both players have been in superb form for their Saudi Pro League club, with the Portuguese forward sitting on top of the scorers' chart as Al-Nassr push to win the league title this season.

During Al Nassr’s resounding 4-0 victory over Al-Shabab, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner was seen giving instructions to his teammates on the pitch.

Mane clearly found this amusing and playfully pushed his captain closer to the technical area to ensure he could be heard by the other players.

Fans have now hailed both superstars after the act went viral on social media, claiming Al-Nassr has become a special team due to both superstars.

Ronaldo, who was voted the Saudi Pro League Player of the Month for August according to Sportskeeda, had netted a brace in the tie and also set up Mane's goal for Al-Nassr.

Both superstars were substituted in the 81st and 86th minute, respectively, as the Knights of Najd strolled to a comfortable victory.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo entered the history books again after the 38-year-old forward scored a superb goal and provided two assists against Al-Hazm on Saturday, GOAL reports.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner became the first footballer to reach a milestone of 850 career goals after netting Al-Nassr’s fourth goal to extend his team’s current winning run.

After six goals in four SPL games this season, Ronaldo will be looking to keep his team climbing the league standings after they lost their first two matches of the season.
