Cristiano Ronaldo has won his first Saudi Pro League title with Al-Nassr, capping a relentless pursuit of silverware since joining the club in December 2022. The Portuguese star scored twice in a decisive 4-1 victory over Damac on Thursday, sealing Al-Nassr\u2019s first league crown in seven years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ronaldo, 41, struck from a free kick in the 62nd minute and added a second in the 82nd, before leaving the pitch in tears to a standing ovation. Sadio Man\u00e9 and Kingsley Coman also found the net for Al-Nassr, while Damac\u2019s Morlaye Sylla scored from the penalty spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The win ensured Al-Nassr finished two points ahead of rivals Al-Hilal, who went unbeaten all season but fell short in the title race. It marks the club\u2019s 11th Saudi Pro League championship and Ronaldo\u2019s first major trophy in the kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The triumph adds another chapter to Ronaldo\u2019s storied career. He has now won league titles in four countries: three in England\u2019s Premier League with Manchester United, two in Spain\u2019s La Liga with Real Madrid, two in Italy\u2019s Serie A with Juventus, and now one in Saudi Arabia. His last league triumph came in 2020 with Juventus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ronaldo\u2019s move to Al-Nassr was seen as a bold step into a growing football market, and critics questioned whether he could replicate past success. Thursday\u2019s victory silenced those doubts, underscoring his enduring impact even in the twilight of his career. He finished the season with 28 league goals, reaffirming his status as one of the game\u2019s most prolific scorers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The title win comes just days before Ronaldo is set to represent Portugal in his record sixth World Cup, further extending a career that has spanned two decades at the highest level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
