Al-Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo has set a historic milestone in world football after officially clinching the Saudi Pro League title with his club. The Riyadh-based giants were confirmed as the new champions following a decisive 4-1 victory over Damac on the final matchday of the season, ending a seven-year league title drought for the club. The 41-year-old Portuguese superstar was heavily influential during the high-stakes clash, netting a vital second-half brace to guide manager Jorge Jesus’ squad to domestic glory just ahead of their fierce city rivals, Al-Hilal.
The thrilling encounter saw a dominant display from Al-Nassr’s star-studded lineup on their home turf. Ronaldo’s veteran teammate Sadio Mane opened the scoring in the first half to settle the nerves, before second-half goals by French winger Kingsley Coman and Ronaldo’s clinical double sealed the definitive victory. According to Spanish sports media outlet Marca, this latest silverware etches Ronaldo’s name into an exclusive tier of football history, as he has now become the only player to win the top scorer award at least once and the domestic league title in four completely different nations.
The legendary forward previously achieved this extraordinary multi-national feat during his historic stints with Manchester United in England’s Premier League, Real Madrid in Spain’s La Liga, and Juventus in Italy’s Serie A, before replicating the dominance in Saudi Arabia. Having successfully secured his first major league crown in the Gulf region since his groundbreaking move in 2023, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is showing no signs of slowing down. The seasoned icon will now shift his immediate focus to international duties as he prepares to lead his home country, Portugal, in his record-extending sixth appearance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup tour.
