Cristiano Ronaldo is finally a champion: Al-Nassr reclaims the Saudi throne
Cristiano Ronaldo has finally won a major trophy after a five-year hiatus. On Thursday evening, Al-Nassr secured the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League title with a 4-1 victory over Damak. Jorge Jesus' side finished two points ahead of their arch-rivals Al-Hilal to reach the finish line first. This is reported by Goal.com .
In the match, goals from former Liverpool winger Sadio Mane and Bayern Munich legend Kingsley Coman put Al-Nassr ahead. Subsequently, Cristiano Ronaldo sealed the game with a brace. The 41-year-old forward's free-kick goal and clinical close-range finish particularly thrilled the fans at the stadium.
This victory was crucial for Al-Nassr, as the team had lost the AFC Champions League 2 final to Gamba Osaka last week. However, Ronaldo and his teammates overcame the pressure to win their first league title since 2019. This is Ronaldo's first major club trophy since winning the Coppa Italia with Juventus in 2021.
Having finished the season with 28 goals, Cristiano Ronaldo now turns his attention to the Portugal national team. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has been included in the squad for the 2026 World Cup. Roberto Martinez's team will face DR Congo, Colombia, and Uzbekistan in the group stage.
