Ronaldo Wins First Saudi Arabia League Title With Al Nassr

Cristiano Ronaldo has won the Saudi Professional League with Al Nassr after the club secured a 4-1 win over Damac in Riyadh on Thursday.

The 41-year-old striker scored the clincher in the title decider on the final day of the season that hands him his first league title since arriving Saudi Arabia in January 2023.

Al Nassr also won their 10th league title in the club’s history, and first in seven years since their last win in 2019.

The Real Madrid and Manchester United legend is the first player to win league titles in the top leagues of four different countries, adding to previous titles in Italy, Spain, and England.

Al Nassr dominated the match and scored once in each half through Sadio Mane and Kingsley Coman respectively. Mane’s 35th-minute header from Joao Felix’s corner kick put the hosts ahead, and Coman sealed the win and title with a low shot into the bottom corner from the edge of the area early in the second half.

Despite the visitors scoring a consolation from the penalty spot that threatened the title charge, Cristiano Ronaldo stepped up with his brace- the first a free kick, then a shot at the near post from four yards into the roof of the net- to ensure Al Nassr seal a dominant win that sparked celebrations in the stands.

The latest title is Ronaldo’s eighth domestic league trophy in his career, and his first since 2020, ending a six-year wait.

Ronaldo has now won two trophies since his arrival in Saudi Arabia.
