In the final round of the Saudi Pro League, Al Nassr faced Al Ittihad, the team that won the championship last season. The “former king” team of Saudi Arabia could not get a point due to the determination of Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates.

The Portuguese superstar scored 2 goals to help Al Nassr take a 2-0 lead. Minute 45+3, Ronaldo escaped and shot a strong shot from a tight angle, beating the goalkeeper.

In the 69th minute, he continued to shine with a high jump and accurate header. In addition to the 2 goals, Ronaldo also forced Al Ittihad to play with 10 people, after a breakthrough situation, forcing Al Menhali to receive a red card in the 66th minute. The double against Al Ittihad helped Ronaldo set 2 records.

He became the greatest scorer in the history of the Saudi Arabian National Championship with 35 goals. Ronaldo broke the record of Moroccan striker Abderrazak Hamdallah (34 goals) in the 2018/19 season. In addition, Ronaldo is also the first star to win the top scorer award in 4 different national championships (England, Spain, Italy and Saudi Arabia).

While playing for Man Utd, Ronaldo won the Premier League’s top scorer with 31 goals in 38 matches in the 2007/08 season. When he moved to Real Madrid, he surpassed Lionel Messi three times to bring home the “Pichichi” award (La Liga top scorer). At Juventus, Ronaldo was also honored with 29 goals in 33 matches.

Ronaldo’s double and goals from Ghareeb and Al Nemer helped Al Nassr close the 2023/24 season with victory and runner-up position. At the same time, Al Hilal defeated Al Wehda to win the championship undefeated.

On June 1, Al Nassr will rematch Al Hilal in the King’s Cup final. This is Ronaldo’s last chance to win the title this season. At the beginning of the season, Al Nassr won the Arab Cup but this was only a friendly tournament.
