Ex Liverpool Stars Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino Share Moment After Al Nassr Beat Al Ahli

• Al-Nassr returned to winning ways with a 1-0 league win over Al-Ahli
• Cristiano Ronaldo's 68th-minute penalty won it for the Riyadh team
• Former Liverpool stars Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino reunited

The outcome of the match between Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli in the Saudi Pro League did not stop two former Liverpool stars from having a passionate moment after the game.

Al-Nassr returned to winning ways with a 1-0 victory over Al-Ahli after losing their last three games, including the AFC Champions League quarter-final tie against Al Ain.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s 68th-minute penalty settled the affair and helped the Riyadh-based club close the gap on league leaders Al-Hilal to nine points, even though they have a game at hand.

Al-Hilal have won their last 28 games in all competitions, a world record for most consecutive wins.

Mane and Firmino share moment

The Saudi league has witnessed the influx of ageing top European stars since Ronaldo made the bold move to the country in January 2023 after leaving Manchester United.

Former Liverpool stars Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino joined the ship last summer. As seen in a video on social media, the two shared a friend's moment in the tunnel after the game.

The two were teammates for six years in England, and it was hard to let go during their linkup in the tunnel before the Senegalese had a pat on the head from match-winner Ronaldo.

Mane ended his time at Liverpool in 2022 and moved to Bayern Munich, but spent only one season before moving to Al-Nassr. His time in Germany was controversial. Per Goal, he punched teammate Leroy Sane after a Champions League game.
