12 hours later, Sadio Mané's reaction to Ronaldo's missed penalty revealed (video)
Al Nassr had a difficult evening in the round of 16 of the King's Cup, the prestigious Saudi Arabian Cup.
Last night, Sadio Mané and his teammates faced Al-Taawon, and while they were down 1-0, they were offered a final opportunity to equalize in the final seconds of added time: a decisive penalty.
Cristiano Ronaldo, true to his reputation, stepped forward to shoot and try to save his team. However, against all odds, the 39-year-old forward sent the ball well over the crossbar, sending Al Nassr's hopes into the stands.
This error sealed the elimination of the club, plunging players and supporters into immense disappointment. The images show a visibly frustrated Ronaldo, even having accidentally damaged the phone of a fan who came to capture the decisive moment.
In the midst of this disappointment, Sadio Mané showed great team spirit. Despite his own frustration, the Senegalese international was the first to console and encourage Ronaldo, showing unwavering support for his teammate in this difficult defeat.
