Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane have developed a rather unexpected bromance since the pair were brought together last summer.
The Senegalese winger completed his move to the Saudi side this summer and it seems the pair have a rather unexpected relationship.
Despite the pair formerly being rivals at Manchester United and Liverpool, the duo are lining up together and hope to win the Saudi Pro League in their first full season together.
Ronaldo’s leadership has led to Mane becoming closer to the Portuguese frontman.
During a 4-0 win over Al-Shabab, Ronaldo was seen shouting instructions to his teammates from the sidelines, which Mane found funny.
The Senegal international then stood up and pushed his new pal closer to the technical area, which Ronaldo giggled at as he realised the bench found his enthusiasm amusing.
“Love their chemistry,” one fan commented on X, formerly known as Twitter. Another joked “It’s the bromance we didn’t know we needed.”
Could the pair win the league title
The pair not only have a blossoming relationship off the pitch but also on the pitch as they are beginning to pick each other out more and their abundant quality is clear and the rest of the division should certainly be aware of the growing relationship between the pair.
The pair have excelled so far this season and it seems their blossoming relationship off the pitch is leading to consistent performances on the pitch for Al-Nassr who are hoping to win the Pro League title.
This term, Ronaldo has bagged six goals and five assists in just five appearances, while Mane has already scored five goals in six appearances.
The pair could well be the difference to winning the league title compared to last season when Al-Ittihad won the league title at a canter in the end.
