Inspired by a Cristiano Ronaldo brace, Al-Nassr secured the Saudi Pro League title with a commanding 4-1 win over Damac FC. The Portuguese icon reached 974 career goals as he claimed his first domestic trophy in Saudi Arabia.
After three seasons without silverware in the Saudi Pro League, Cristiano Ronaldo has finally reached the summit. Al-Nassr were confirmed as champions on the final day of the 2025-26 campaign, following a commanding 4-1 victory over Damac FC. The Madeira-born superstar was the architect of the win, netting a pivotal brace to seal the title.
Sadio Mane broke the deadlock for the hosts before Kingsley Coman doubled the advantage. Morlaye Sylla briefly threatened a comeback for the visitors, dispatching an emphatic penalty to halve the deficit.
However, Cristiano Ronaldo was not to be denied. After several near-misses—including a spectacular overhead-kick attempt—the Portuguese legend put the result beyond doubt. In the 63rd minute, he produced a moment of magic with a pinpoint free-kick from a tight angle, before completing his double by pouncing on a loose ball in the area to fire home.
Now sitting on 974 career goals—leaving him just 26 short of the historic 1,000-goal landmark—the five-time Ballon d’Or winner was visibly moved at full-time. Overcome with emotion as the final whistle blew, he celebrated his maiden Saudi Pro League title, a triumph that secures a historic 10th league crown—the ‘Décima’—for his club. The man nicknamed ‘El Bicho’ continues to defy time, having now conquered four different top flights following league successes in England (Manchester United), Spain (Real Madrid), Italy (Juventus), and now Saudi Arabia (Al-Nassr).
