Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice as Al Nassr claimed the Saudi Pro League title on Thursday. They thrashed Damac 4-1 in a dominant performance.

It's the Portuguese star's first domestic trophy since joining the club in January 2023. Ronaldo had waited months for this moment.

Al Nassr finished top of the table on the final day of the season. They edged rivals Al-Hilal by two points in a tight finish.

Karim Benzema's Al-Hilal side mounted a late challenge but couldn't catch their opponents. They ultimately settled for runners-up position.

Ronaldo's performance proved decisive in securing the crown. He netted a free-kick and a close-range finish in the second half.

The 41-year-old had suffered heartbreak in previous campaigns with Al Nassr. Cup final losses had haunted him since his arrival.

He finished the league season with 26 goals across 29 appearances. It was a prolific showing from the veteran forward.

This marks Ronaldo's first major honour since 2020 at Juventus. His trophy cabinet now includes league titles from England, Spain and Italy.

He's also collected five UEFA Champions League medals throughout his career. Few players can match his winning pedigree.

Ronaldo watched the closing stages from the bench, visibly moved. He'd already done the hard work on the pitch.

His presence in Saudi Arabia continues to boost the league's global profile. Over 664 million Instagram followers track his every move.
