Last night was a major night for the Al Nassr Saudi club as it clinched its 11th Saudi League title, but first since Ronaldo.
Al Nassr finished two points ahead of rivals Al Hilal to clinch the crown on the last matchday of the season.
Having missed the chance to wrap up the domestic championship last week following a stoppage-time blunder from Brazil keeper Bento, which resulted in a 1-1 draw with Al Hilal, Al Nassr then slipped to a shock home defeat to Gamba Osaka in the AFC Champions League Two final last weekend.

But last night the Al Nassr luck came with winning 4-1. Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice as his Al Nassr team beat Damac 4-1 to earn the Portugal star his first Saudi Pro League title since moving to the league in January 2023.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was visibly emotional, taken off to a standing ovation with three minutes remaining. Ronaldo has now won domestic league titles in Portugal, England, Spain, Italy and Saudi Arabia and will compete with Portugal at the 2026 World Cup, his sixth appearance in the soccer world’s biggest tournament.

The captain of the club, Ronaldo, has already scored over 100 goals for the club in his three seasons in Saudi Arabia.
The moment they say “he is finished”, he wins another one and everywhere goes silent like a cemetery.
