Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice as Al Nassr beat Damac 4-1 to clinch the Saudi Pro League title on the final matchday. It's the club's 11th league championship but first since Ronaldo joined in January 2023. They finished two points clear of rivals Al Hilal.

Former Liverpool winger Sadio Mané and Chelsea's João Félix also scored for Al Nassr, managed by Jorge Jesus. Ronaldo has now surpassed 100 goals for the club across three seasons in Saudi Arabia since leaving Manchester United for a second time.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has now won domestic league titles in five different countries: Portugal, England, Spain, Italy and Saudi Arabia. He will represent Portugal at the 2026 World Cup, his sixth tournament appearance. His only other trophy with Al Nassr was the Arab Club Champions Cup in 2023.

Al Nassr's win ends Al Hilal's recent dominance and rewards Ronaldo's prolific scoring. The title race went down to the wire, with Al Nassr holding off their rivals. This is Ronaldo's first Saudi league crown after three seasons.
