Sadio Mane keeps putting his country on the world map with his simple and patriotic lifestyle.
Few days after his multi-million dollar move to Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, the highest paid African player at the moment, was spotted rocking a Senegalese made watch before the game against Al-Shorta in the Arab Club Champions Cup.
The home-made watch, designed by Gaindé collection, had symbols of Senegalese culture encrypted around it.
In a photo shared on social media, Mane is seen proudly wearing the time piece as he walks into the changing room for their epic semi-final encounter.
The former Bayern Munich forward starred for Al Nassr as they defeated the Iraqi champions to reach the final of the competition. Mane won the penalty which was converted by Cristiano Ronaldo.
“Here we go,” wrote the 31-year-old on Instagram after Wednesday’s victory.
The 2019 UEFA Champions League winner will face compatriot Kalidou Koulibaly’s Al Hilal in the final of the King Salman Cup on Saturday in Jeddah.
