Cristiano Ronaldo has finally secured his long-awaited domestic league title in Saudi Arabia after inspiring Al-Nassr to the Saudi Pro League crown on the final day of the season.

The Portuguese superstar struck twice in a commanding 4-1 victory over Damac, a result that ensured Al-Nassr edged out fierce rivals Al-Hilal to clinch their first league championship since 2019.

It marks a defining moment for the 41-year-old forward, who joined the Saudi club in December 2022 following his exit from Manchester United, a move that signalled Saudi Arabia’s ambition to elevate its football profile on the global stage.

Despite his global reputation and prolific scoring record, the league title had eluded him until now, raising questions in some quarters about his impact on the domestic competition.

Ronaldo has been instrumental throughout the campaign, recently reaching the milestone of 100 Saudi Pro League goals and extending his overall tally for Al-Nassr to 129 goals across all competitions.

The triumph adds to an already glittering career in which he has now won eight league titles across four different countries, further cementing his status as one of football’s most decorated players.

For Cristiano Ronaldo, this title represents not just another trophy, but the fulfilment of the expectation that followed his landmark move to Saudi Arabia.
