Senegalese national team star Sadio Mané expressed his happiness after winning the Africa Cup of Nations against the Moroccan team with a goal to nil, in extra time after the original time ended goalless.

Mané said after the final match: "It was not easy, I am grateful and thank God for everything, and today is very important to me, I have some mixed feelings, I wrote my story on the African continent."

Regarding the players' and coach's decision to withdraw from the match: "I did not understand the team's decision not to continue the match due to the awarding of a penalty to Morocco, I do not care about all that, because we have to play, and it is crazy that this happened because the whole world was watching us. I spoke with the coach and told him we have to play, and I also received advice to complete the match."

About whether this was his last match with the national team: "I will try to play in the 2026 World Cup, then I will see what happens..."

He concluded about the secret of his outstanding performance in the tournament despite his age: "The Saudi league is very competitive, I play at a good level and always work hard, and this is proof that the Saudi league is one of the best in the world."
