I don’t usually comment but I gotta say Sadio Mane is literally a superstar 🀩!

The way he scored in extra time was insane πŸ’₯, you could feel the whole stadium erupting! Mane's dedication to his country is so inspiring, I mean the guy's been working towards this moment for years and it paid off big time πŸ’ͺ. And even though he announced his retirement from international football last year, I don't think that's gonna happen πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ...he's still got that fire in him and will probably keep playing for Senegal at the club level. Congrats to Mane and the entire Senegal team on this epic win! πŸŽ‰

omg what a clutch performance from sadio mane 🀩 he's literally the real mvp of this tournament and i'm not mad at him for choosing to retire from int'l football now that he has his hands full with paris saint-germain πŸ†β€οΈ but seriously, 4 years is kinda short for him to focus on club ball after already winning so many titles, maybe he should've played one more afcon? πŸ€”

lol what a game! Senegal's Sadio Mane is like a super hero on the pitch πŸ¦Έβ€β™‚οΈ, always saving the day for his team... and scoring goals like they're going outta style 🎯😁. Congrats to him and the Teranga Lions on that epic win! And can you believe it? They finally got that African Cup of Nations title after all those years πŸ˜…. I'm not surprised he's retiring from international footy, though - I mean, who wouldn't want to stay with their fam and focus on club life? πŸ˜‰ Mane's a legend, for sure! 🀩
 
just watched that africa cup final on tv πŸ“Ί, cant believe sadio mane won it for senegal again! reminds me of when i was a kid and my dad would tell me stories about pires and kamara leading senegal to victory back in the day 😊. any way, mane's got this whole 'winning' thing down pat doesn't he? πŸ€” seems like he's been doing it for years now. anyway, gotta wonder what's next for him... will we see him hang up his boots for good or keep dominating on the pitch? πŸ’₯
 
πŸ€” I think it's crazy that everyone's making such a big deal about Sadio Mane winning the Africa Cup of Nations. Like, what's the point? Anybody can score a goal in extra time if they're good enough. And let's be real, Morocco deserved to win more than Senegal did. I mean, have you seen their squad? They had some seriously talented players. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Mane's just a great player, but he didn't single-handedly win that tournament for Senegal. It was a team effort... or so they're saying 😏.
