Ronaldo Wins First Saudi League Title with Al-Nassr
Newsroom
Al-Nassr claimed the Saudi Pro League title on May 21, 2026, with a victory over Dhamk, giving Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo his first major trophy since moving to Asia, according to reports from TNT Sports. Al-Nassr secured their first league title since 2019 on the final day of the season, winning 4-1 against Dhamk at King Saud University Stadium.
Ronaldo scored the last two goals for Al-Nassr after Sadio Mane and Kingsley Coman had already given the team a two-goal lead. Dhamk's Morlaye Sylla managed to pull a goal back, but Ronaldo's tight-angle free-kick and close-range finish ensured victory, clinching the title for Al-Nassr. This win meant that Ronaldo, at 41 years old, picked up his first major piece of silverware since joining the club in 2023.
The triumph came just days after Al-Nassr had missed the chance to secure the title in their penultimate game of the season. They faced a 1-1 draw with title rivals Al-Hilal, where an own goal in the 98th minute from goalkeeper Bento cost them the win. After the final whistle against Dhamk, Ronaldo appeared emotional, shedding tears on the bench. He was seen crying again after scoring his second goal against Dhamk, pointing to his supporters in the crowd.
In recent weeks, Al-Nassr also faced a setback by losing in the final of the Asian Champions League Two, the continent's second-tier competition. Heading into the final match day, Al-Nassr needed to secure a better result than Al-Hilal to maintain their position atop the table.
