Ronaldo's Brace Secures Al Nassr Saudi League Title
On Thursday, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace to secure the Saudi Pro League title for Al Nassr with a 4-1 victory over Damac FC. This win represents Ronaldo's first major title in Saudi Arabia since his arrival in January 2023 after an unhappy second spell at Manchester United.
Al Nassr took a 2-0 lead before Damac FC narrowed the gap to 2-1. Ronaldo's first goal came from a free kick in the 63rd minute, followed by a close-range finish nine minutes later.
Al Nassr finished the season just two points ahead of Al Hilal. Ronaldo, who has won multiple titles in England, Spain, and Italy, is now the top scorer in the Saudi Pro League and is tantalizingly close to reaching 1,000 career goals.
Despite some setbacks, including a loss in the King’s Cup final, Ronaldo's performance has been pivotal in elevating the league's profile internationally.
