Al-Nassr 4–1 Damac • Pro League • Round 34 • 21 May 2026
A 4–1 triumph for Al-Nassr against Damac in Pro League.
The wait is finally over! Al-Nassr are Saudi Pro League champions, and naturally, it was Cristiano Ronaldo who delivered when it mattered most. The 41-year-old scored twice in the final half-hour to seal a commanding 4–1 victory over Damac on the last night of the season, ending his long wait for domestic silverware in the Gulf.
Sadio Mane opened the scoring in the 34th minute before Damac pulled one back through M. Sylla just after the hour. But Al-Nassr were never in danger. Kingsley Coman restored the two-goal cushion and then Ronaldo took over — a trademark free-kick in the 63rd minute found the far corner, before he added a clinical close-range finish nine minutes from time to put the title beyond any doubt.

At 41 years old, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to defy logic. While most footballers his age have long hung up their boots, CR7 keeps finding the net — and the 1,000-goal milestone is now tantalizingly within reach.
The scenes that followed were everything Saudi football had been building towards. Ronaldo, who had been substituted late in recent games, watched the final moments from the bench before being engulfed by teammates and staff as the full-time whistle confirmed the title.
It is Al-Nassr's 11th league championship and their first since 2019 — and for Ronaldo personally, it is his eighth league title, adding to those won in England, Spain and Italy. He arrived in Riyadh in January 2023 with a mission, and after more than three years of near-misses, cup final heartbreaks and a dramatic last-day title race with city rivals Al-Hilal, he has finally delivered.
The title came down to the wire. Going into the final round, Al-Nassr held a two-point advantage over Al-Hilal, who did their part by beating Al Fayha 1–0. But Al-Nassr held their nerve and made no mistake.
