Cristiano Ronaldo Sets New Record in Football After Winning Saudi Pro League with Al-Nassr

Ronaldo finished with 28 league goals as Al Nassr ended a six-year title drought and moved two points clear of Al Hilal.

  • On Thursday, Cristiano Ronaldo powered Al Nassr to the Saudi Pro League title, securing a 4-1 victory over Damac FC on the final day of the season. The win ended a six-year league title drought for the Riyadh-based club.
  • Finishing the campaign with 86 points, Al Nassr ended two points ahead of runners-up Al Hilal. This championship marks the first major trophy for Ronaldo since joining the club four years ago.
  • Forward Sadio Mane opened the scoring in the 34th minute, followed by Kingsley Coman's fierce strike from the 18-yard box in the 52nd minute. Ronaldo restored a two-goal cushion with a free kick, then sealed the result in the 81st minute.
  • Overcome with emotion after being substituted, Ronaldo celebrated his 973rd career goal. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner finished the season with 28 goals in 30 appearances and now prepares for World Cup action with Portugal.
  • At Al-Awwal Park, supporters cheered with the chant 'Yalla Nassr,' which translates from Arabic to 'Come on, Al Nassr!' The historic win marks a successful conclusion to the team's season in Riyadh.
