Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane are proving to be a menace for defenders in Saudi Arabia and the Asian Champions League.

The duo, alongside Brazilian teammate Anderson Talisca, have been instrumental for Al-Nassr as they sit top of Group E in the AFC Champions League.

All three players were on target as the Knights of Najd defeated Qatari giants Al-Duhail in the third game of the group at Al-Awwal Park on Tuesday night.

However, it was a moment of brilliance between Ronaldo and Mane that left fans on their feet and applauding their stars.

In a video that has since gone viral on social media, Mane and Ronaldo's quick backheel passes left Al-Duhail defenders lost as Al-Nassr attacked.

In the thrilling contest in Saudi Arabia, Talisca gave the hosts a first-half lead after finishing off a cheeky assist from Ronaldo.

Mane doubled the lead after the break before Ronaldo netted the first of his brace on the hour mark.

The visitors reduced the deficit through Ismail Mohamed and Almoez Ali in the space of four minutes.

Ronaldo finished off a brilliant move with a lovely volley before Kenyan forward Michael Olunga made it 4-3, as reported by ESPN.

Mane celebrates Al-Nassr anniversary

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Mane has joined the 68th anniversary celebrations of Al-Nassr.

The 31-year-old, who joined the Knights of Najd in the summer transfer window, is enjoying a good start to life in the Saudi Pro League.

Mane has already netted six goals, provided two assists in ten league games, and scored his maiden goal in the AFC Champions League in the victory over Al-Duhail.

Mane buys French lower-tier side

Sports Brief also reported that Mane has become the new owner of the French Championnat National 2 club, Bourges Foot 18.

The Al-Nassr star completed the takeover of the club on Tuesday morning and has now been confirmed the majority stakeholder of the French outfit.

Mane becomes the latest footballer to buy a club after N'Golo Kante invested in Belgian third-tier side Royal Excelsior Virton.
