Sadio Mane is a father! Ex-Liverpool star welcomes first child and dedicates birth with Al-Nassr goal celebration

Mane, who tied the knot with teenage wife Tamba in January 2024, welcomed a baby girl recently. In a nod to her birth, the ex-Liverpool star celebrated his goal in Al-Nassr's 3-1 win over Al Kholood in the Saudi Pro League on Thursday by rocking his cradled arms. Cristiano Ronaldo had opened the scoring in the fourth minute before Mane doubled the team's lead with a 26th minute strike. Just minutes before half time, Jhon Duran scored the third and final goal to seal a convincing win for Al-Nassr.

On their first wedding anniversary earlier this year, the 32-year-old winger had revealed how many kids he wants from his 19-year-old wife. In a chat with Senepeopleplus, the player said: "Funny question. If it is just a choice, I would say three or four. Except that it is God who decides and I will thank him no matter what."

The Senegalese forward has endured a tough season as he has scored only seven goals in 25 league appearances this season and nine across all competitions. Mane has, however, contributed with 10 assists as Al-Nassr find themselves third in the Saudi Pro League, 10 points behind leaders Al-Ittihad.

Stefano Pioli's side will be back in action after the international break on April 4 as they take on reigning champions Al-Hilal.
