Ronaldo brace fires Al-Nassr to Saudi Pro League crown

Cristiano Ronaldo has won his first Saudi Pro League title with Al-Nassr FC after scoring twice in a decisive 4-1 victory over Damac FC on the final day of the 2025-26 season.

The Portuguese forward finished the campaign with 28 league goals as Al-Nassr secured the title with 86 points, edging rivals Al Hilal SFC by two points.

Ronaldo’s brace also took his Saudi Pro League tally for Al-Nassr to 102 goals, making him the club’s second-highest scorer in the competition’s history.

He now trails former Al-Nassr striker Mohammed Al-Sahlawi by just one goal on the all-time Saudi Pro League scoring list for the club.

Ronaldo had earlier surpassed Abderrazak Hamdallah, who scored 77 league goals for Al-Nassr.

In all competitions, Ronaldo already leads the modern-era scoring chart for the club with 129 goals, ahead of Al-Sahlawi’s 123 and Hamdallah’s 115.

Al-Nassr entered the final day needing victory to guarantee the title and produced a dominant display at Al-Awwal Park.

Sadio Mané opened the scoring before Kingsley Coman added another after the break.

Ronaldo then scored twice, including a free-kick in the second half to settle the contest.

The 41-year-old received a standing ovation after being substituted late in the game and later celebrated with supporters inside the stadium.
