Ronaldo leads Al Nassr to a long-awaited title.

Saudi football has honored the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo after he successfully led Al Nassr to win its first local title since joining the most expensive Arab league ever at the beginning of 2023.

In the decisive round, where he competed with his rival Al Hilal for the title, and in front of more than 26,000 spectators, "The Global" experienced historic moments under Ronaldo's leadership (41 years old) as he easily secured victory against Damak, which was relegated to the second division, with a score of 4-0, two of which were scored by the "Don," who shed tears of joy for an achievement long awaited after 40 months since his arrival.

Ronaldo's joining of Al Nassr marked a significant turning point in the global image of the local league, as the Portuguese became the most prominent face of the Saudi sports project, paving the way for the arrival of other global names later, such as Brazilian Neymar and French Karim Benzema.

In front of his partner Georgina Rodriguez and his children, Ronaldo beat the drum and chanted Al Nassr's cheers, expressing his exceptional joy as he personally led the chants with Al Nassr fans, who reclaimed the league title that had been absent from their trophy cabinet since the 2018-2019 season.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner added the Saudi league title to his exceptional record, having previously won three titles in the English Premier League with Manchester United, two titles in La Liga with Real Madrid, and two titles in Serie A with Juventus.

Ronaldo said: "I have achieved everything in football in terms of individual awards, titles with teams, and record numbers. I have always given my best for my teammates and my team."

He added: "Every title that is still ahead of me to win is just a matter of time, and I will achieve it too."

Portuguese coach Jose Rodrigues saw the league title as a reflection of Ronaldo's dedication to Al Nassr this season after scoring 28 goals. "After all the titles he has won in his career, seeing him shed tears of joy on the pitch, tears of joy for finally winning the title with Al Nassr, is clear evidence of his commitment."

Rodrigues told AFP: "In addition to the two goals that raised his tally to 973 goals, bringing him closer to his ultimate goal of reaching 1,000 goals, all conditions seem favorable for him to continue his career with Al Nassr as his contract ends next season."

He added: "Ronaldo will not stop; he will strive to win the only major title left for him with his club, which is the AFC Champions League after failing to win the AFC Champions League 2."
