RIYADH — Cristiano Ronaldo was named Man of the Match following Al Nassr’s 4-1 victory over Damac on the final day of the 2025/26 Saudi Pro League season. The win secured the league title for Al Nassr, marking a significant milestone for both the club and the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.
Ronaldo, who has been a central figure for Al Nassr since joining in 2023, delivered a commanding performance with two goals in the second half. His contributions were vital in maintaining Al Nassr's momentum as they successfully fended off rivals Al Hilal to finish at the top of the table.
A Historic Victory
The triumph marks a notable achievement in Al Nassr’s history, ending their recent league championship drought. While Al Nassr has long been one of Saudi Arabia’s most successful clubs, this season’s title reinforces their position at the pinnacle of the domestic game, particularly following a highly competitive campaign against fellow league heavyweights.
The final match against Damac showcased the attacking depth of the squad. Former Liverpool winger Sadio Mané opened the scoring in the first half, while French forward Kingsley Coman added another goal following the break. These performances, combined with Ronaldo's clinical finishing, ensured Al Nassr secured the three points needed to lift the trophy.
Ronaldo’s Impact
Since arriving in the Saudi Pro League, Ronaldo’s influence has extended beyond his individual goal tally. The 2025/26 title represents his first domestic league championship since moving to Saudi Arabia, adding to his impressive career resume that already includes league titles in England, Spain, Italy, and Portugal.
Following the final whistle, the atmosphere at Alawwal Park was one of celebration as players and staff marked the successful end to a challenging season. For the club, the focus will now shift to building on this championship momentum in the upcoming seasons.
The Portuguese star delivered a decisive performance in the final match of the season, scoring a brace to secure the championship and earning Man of the Match honors.
