Cristiano Ronaldo wins the Saudi Pro League title with Al Nassr FC after the club moved ahead against Damac FC in a title-deciding clash, which needed a win to lift the trophy.
Al Nassr FC beat Damac FC 4-1 to win the league title, as Cristiano Ronaldo helped the club with a brace to seal the win after two goals from Sadio Mane and Kingsley Coman.
The title marks Ronaldo’s first league triumph in Saudi Arabia since arriving in late 2022 following his departure from Manchester United.
It also places him among a rare group of footballers who have won league titles across multiple countries during their careers.
Ronaldo has already lifted league trophies in England with Manchester United, Spain with Real Madrid, and Italy with Juventus.
A Saudi Pro League title with Al Nassr gives him league championships in four different countries, joining football icons such as David Beckham and Zlatan Ibrahimović.
Beckham won league titles in England, Spain, the United States, and France, while Ibrahimović lifted championships in the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and France.
The achievement arrives just days after João Cancelo became the first player to win league titles in four of Europe’s top five leagues after helping FC Barcelona secure the La Liga crown.
Cancelo’s trophy collection includes league titles in Portugal, Italy, England, Germany, and Spain.
For Ronaldo, the Saudi title ends months of pressure and criticism surrounding Al Nassr’s expensive project.
Despite breaking scoring records since moving to Saudi Arabia, the Portuguese star had faced repeated criticism over failing to deliver the league trophy that many supporters expected after his arrival.
The title victory now reshapes how Ronaldo’s Saudi chapter is remembered not only as a commercial turning point for Middle Eastern football but also as another successful league conquest in a career that has already stretched across multiple football eras and continents.
