Riyadh: Cristiano Ronaldo delivered another memorable chapter in his decorated career as Al-Nassr secured the Saudi Pro League title after a 4-1 victory against Damac FC on the final day of the season. The Portuguese star scored twice in the title-deciding encounter and was later seen in tears as the club lifted the championship trophy.

The title marked Ronaldo’s first Saudi Pro League triumph since joining Al-Nassr in early 2023 and ended the club’s wait for a league crown since the 2018-19 season. Al-Nassr finished the campaign with 86 points, two ahead of rivals Al-Hilal.

Final-day pressure ends in triumph

Heading into the season finale, Al-Nassr required a victory to secure the title and avoid leaving the door open for Al-Hilal in the closely contested race.

The home side established control early in the contest through goals from Sadio Mané and Kingsley Coman before Damac briefly reduced the deficit through a penalty.

With pressure building, Ronaldo produced the decisive moments of the match.
