Cristiano Ronaldo and his Al-Nassr team-mates surprised Sadio Mane with a personalised cake to celebrate the Senegalese star reaching his 100th international cap last weekend.

Al-Nassr shared footage on social media on Thursday of Mane celebrating the feat with his team-mates and cutting a personalised cake of him wearing his country’s shirt.

Ronaldo was seen smiling and laughing as he passed Mane a knife to cut the cake with, after the harmonious camp welcomed him on to the pitch with chants of ‘Sadio’.

Ronaldo knows a thing or two about representing his country. The Al-Nassr superstar became the first player in history to reach 200 international appearances when he scored to help Portugal beat Iceland 1-0 in June.

Mane will forever go down as one of Senegal’s greatest ever players, having won African Footballer of the Year twice and led his country to Africa Cup of Nations glory earlier this year.

The 30-year-old forward returns to Riyadh ahead of Al-Nassr’s clash with struggling Saudi outfit Al-Akhdoud on Saturday, with his side sitting four points behind league leaders Al-Hilal.

Mane has six goals and two assists in 13 appearances for Al-Nassr so far this season.
