SADIO MANE dedicated his goal to his newborn daughter after welcoming his first child with wife Aisha Tamba.
Mane, 32, tied the knot with Tamba, 19, last year in Keur Massar, an area in Senegal‘s capital city of Dakar.
The ceremony was just six days before the start of the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations.
The couple have now welcomed their first child, 14 months after their shock wedding, which was confirmed by Mane’s Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr.
And in dedication to his baby girl, Mane celebrated by rocking his arms while beaming with pride.
The former Liverpool star’s goal doubled Al-Nassr‘s lead in the club’s 3-1 win over Al Kholood on Friday.
Fellow ex-Prem stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Jhon Duran also scored, before Al-Nassr went down to ten men as Nawaf Boushal was sent off.
Al-Nassr were at the heart of Mane’s public reveal of his new baby.
The club posted a video of the footballer reciting a verse from the Quran while walking through the club’s training facility.

Mane recited: “Wealth and children are the adornment of this worldly life, but the everlasting good deeds are far better with your Lord in reward and in hope.”
The video was captioned: “A new blessing for Sadio Mane! Wishing him and his family endless joy.
“Allah provided them with its righteousness, and made her one of His righteous servants.”
Al-Nassr need to have a flawless final nine games if they are to close the 10-point gap on leaders Al-Ittihad.
Mane, 31, won the Premier League and Champions League during his spell with Liverpool.
He now reportedly earns £650,000 per week with Al-Nassr.
The former Anfield star met Tamba through his agent, who was friends with her construction boss dad.
A source told MailOnline: “Sadio and Aissata’s romance blossomed after his agent met her father.
“Madou Tamba is a respected construction manager in Senegal and was tasked by Sadio’s agent to oversee the footballer’s various building projects in the country.
“The two men developed a trusting working relationship and through that relationship Sadio was introduced to his daughter.
“Everyone in the village of Bambali is delighted for them.
“Sadio is a good man. He has given lots of money to the people of Bambali and he deserves to be happy.”
Mane was playing for Bayern Munich at the time of their marriage, when Aisha was 18 years old.
They kept their relationship a secret until pictures of their wedding were revealed.
Tamba was still a student when they met, but Mane reportedly vowed to marry her as soon as they started dating.
