Cristiano Ronaldo ends Saudi trophy drought as Al-Nassr clinch league title

Cristiano Ronaldo has finally won a major trophy with Al-Nassr. The 41-year-old Portugal star scored twice in a 4-1 win over Damac to help Al-Nassr clinch the Saudi Pro League title Thursday. It's the team's first major trophy since Ronaldo joined more than three years ago. Ronaldo lifted the trophy just two days after being named in Portugal's roster for the World Cup, which would mark a record sixth appearance at the tournament. The victory secured top spot for Al-Nassr, two points ahead of city rival Al-Hilal, which finished second despite completing the 34-game season undefeated. Ronaldo struck his 27th and 28th league goals of the season in the second half after Sadio Mane and Kingsley Coman scored on either side of halftime to put Al-Nassr in control. Al-Nassr was leading 2-1 when Ronaldo restored his team's two-goal cushion just past the hour mark, curling a free kick from the left side through traffic and into the net. He added his second eight minutes from time, finishin

Ronaldo's trophy wait drags on after Al-Nassr falls to Osaka in AFC final

Cristiano Ronaldo's wait for a first major trophy in Saudi Arabia continued when Al-Nassr lost to Japan's Gamba Osaka 1-0 in the Asian Champions League Two final on Saturday. A first-half goal from Turkish forward Deniz Hammat helped Osaka secure Asia's second-tier tournament despite Al-Nassr dominating possession and having more attempts on goal. The defeat came five days after Al-Nassr was seconds away from winning the Saudi Pro League for the first time since 2019, only to concede in stoppage time and leave the title race to be decided on the final matchday on Thursday. It was a frustrating night for the home side. Al-Nassr created multiple openings in the first half but Osaka took the lead in the 30th minute. Hammat turned and fired a low shot into the bottom corner from just inside the area. After a lengthy VAR check for offside, the goal stood. "I am happy to score and help the team and to do my best for this club," said Hammat, who went off injured at halftime. "I was nervou
