Cristiano Ronaldo finally won the Saudi Pro League title, the second time he has won a title in football in those latitudes
Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo was finally able to achieve the long-awaited league title in the Saudi Pro League by winning this Thursday with Al Nassr, thereby adding his second title in football in these latitudes by beating Damac 4-1, leaving everything ready for the Portuguese to join his team.
The coronation was so important for the former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus forward, that it was after the double he scored in the match and which generated a closing of the tournament full of emotions that caused the Portuguese striker to cry.
The match had so much expectation because they were fighting side by side for the title with Al Hilal and needed to win no matter what, despite the two points advantage over their competitor, which they were able to achieve over Damac and which allowed them to lift the cup with great difficulty after Al-Fayha also achieved victory.
There were even moments in the game when Al-Fayha was ahead in the table, until Mané connected with a cross from Joao Félix at 34' to give peace of mind, and Kingsley Coman took a left footed shot at 52' to seal the 2-0.
Sylla, from a penalty, scored for Damac and added some suspense to the matter, but Cristiano Ronaldo appeared at the right moment to score a double that secured the victory. The first of them with a great free kick that passed between countless legs and then with a shooting by the Damac goalkeeper.
Cristiano Ronaldo won his second title with Al Nassr; He had already won the 2023 Arab Champions Cup against Al Hilal himself and with a double of his own and needed to get rid of his thorn in the league, according to the images in which he was visibly frustrated when he could not seal the title on the previous day by drawing with his direct rival.
But it was not easy, because Al Nassr had the game under control and allowed Al Hilal to achieve equality in the 97th minute, with a goal after an unusual play in which Bento, the local goalkeeper, collided with his defender.
Relief came for a CR7 who had touched glory this season by reaching the final of the AFC Champions League Two, but lost to Gamba Osaka 1-0 on May 16.
Controversial season for Cristiano Ronaldo
