Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice as his Al Nassr team beat Damac 4-1 Thursday to earn the Portugal star his first Saudi Pro League title since moving to the league in January of 2023.
It's the club's 11th league title, but first since Ronaldo joined as Al Nassr finished two points ahead of rivals Al Hilal to clinch the crown on the last matchday of the season.
Former Liverpool winger Sadio Mané, who also scored, and former Atlético Madrid and Chelsea forward João Félix played alongside Ronaldo on Thursday in the side led by manager Jorge Jesus.
Ronaldo has already scored over 100 goals for the club in his three seasons in Saudi Arabia having joined the SPL after his second stint at Manchester United.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has now won domestic league titles in Portugal, England, Spain, Italy and Saudi Arabia and will compete with Portugal at the 2026 World Cup, his sixth appearance in the soccer world's biggest tournament.
Ronaldo's only other trophy with Al Nassr was the Arab Club Champions Cup in 2023, but that is not a FIFA-sanctioned title.
