Senegalese football sensation Sadio Mané is showcasing extraordinary performances in his current stint with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, setting the stage for high expectations as the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) draws near.
In 23 matches across various competitions, Mané has exhibited an exceptional level of skill, netting an impressive 10 goals and contributing 6 assists.
This stellar performance marks a significant resurgence for the Bambaly-born forward, who faced challenging times during his previous spell with Bayern Munich.
The Senegalese international’s remarkable revival is greeted with enthusiasm in Senegal, offering a boost to the national team just weeks before the commencement of the 34th edition of AFCON.
The draw for the prestigious tournament placed the reigning African champions in Group C alongside formidable opponents Cameroon, Guinea, and Gambia.
Mané’s statistics with the Senegal national team underscore his pivotal role in their success. With 100 appearances, he has tallied an impressive record of 39 goals and 22 assists.
The journey began on May 25, 2012, during a friendly match against Morocco, where Mané made his mark in a hard-fought victory.
Having played a crucial role in Senegal’s triumph in the last African Cup of Nations, Mané is now poised to lead the “Lions” in their pursuit of a second consecutive continental crown. The anticipation surrounding Mané’s exceptional form with Al-Nassr only adds to the excitement as Senegal aims for further glory on the African football stage.
