Senegal's Sadio Mane ended his illustrious international career on a high note, lifting the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 trophy after a 1-0 win over Morocco. Pape Gueye's 94th-minute goal sealed the victory, marking Senegal's second AFCON title after their 2021 triumph in Cameroon. 

The win was a fitting farewell for Mane, who announced his retirement from international football after the tournament. The 33-year-old has been a cornerstone of the Senegalese national team since his debut in 2012, leading them to their first-ever AFCON title in 2021. Mane's leadership and skill have been instrumental in Senegal's success, and he'll be remembered as one of the country's greatest players.

Coach Pape Thiaw had urged Mane to reconsider his decision, but the forward was resolute in his decision to retire after the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Mane's AFCON 2025 campaign was marked by his determination and experience, cementing his legacy as a Senegalese legend.
