Al-Nassr star Sadio Mane was fortunate to avoid a red card in their AFC Champions League game.

The Saudi Arabian side were dumped out of the competition against Al-Ain from the UAE.

Despite having Mane, Cristiano Ronaldo, and other big money superstars, Al-Nassr lost on penalties over two legs.

Mane only received a yellow in the game for putting his hand around the neck of Al-Ain substitute Saeed Juma.

The UAE team's manager Hernan Crespo was curious at the incident and wanted to see Mane sent off.

Ex-Manchester United defender Alex Telles was also involved in the game, scoring to make it 3-3 on aggregate in normal time.
