Ronaldo's Title Hopes Delayed After Al Nassr Draw
Cristiano Ronaldo's quest for his first Saudi Pro League title was put on hold when Al Nassr drew 1-1 against second-place Al Hilal. The match featured a crucial moment in the eighth minute of injury time when a Brazilian player inadvertently scored an own goal from a long throw, allowing Al Hilal's fans to celebrate the championship.
Despite the draw, Al Nassr remains five points ahead of Al Hilal with only one game left in the season. Al Nassr can secure the title in their next match against Damac.
Ronaldo, who is 41 years old, has yet to experience domestic honors since his lucrative contract with Al Nassr in 2023, which has sparked interest in Saudi football and led to the signing of other big names, including Neymar and Karim Benzema.
