Al-Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo etched his name further into football history on Thursday after clinching the Saudi Pro League title with his club.
Al-Nassr secured the championship with a 4-2 victory over relegation-threatened Damac, finishing ahead of fierce rivals Al-Hilal.
Sadio Mane broke the deadlock in the first half, before Kingsley Coman and a Ronaldo brace in the second half put the game beyond doubt and confirmed the title for Jorge Jesus’ side.
The win came with a remarkable individual milestone for Ronaldo. According to Marca, he has now become the only footballer in history to have won both a top scorer award and a league title in four different countries.
He previously achieved this feat in England with Manchester United, in Spain with Real Madrid, and in Italy with Juventus and has now added Saudi Arabia to that exclusive list.
The achievement adds yet another chapter to what is already one of the most decorated careers in the sport’s history.
At 41 years old, Ronaldo shows little sign of slowing down, and attention will now turn to the international stage as he prepares to captain Portugal at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which gets underway next month.
