Cristiano Ronaldo finally won his first Saudi Pro League title Thursday after scoring twice in Al-Nassr's 4-1 victory over Damac.

The 41-year-old scored a free-kick from a narrow angle following earlier goals from teammates Sadio Mane and Kingsley Coman.

He then smashed in from close range in the 81st minute for his second goal of the game.

Ronaldo, who joined Al-Nassr at the end of 2022, is widely considered the highest-paid athlete in the world. He earned $275 million in 2025, according to Forbes.

The forward is set to represent Portugal this summer for a record sixth World Cup campaign. He's already scored over 100 goals in three-and-a-half seasons with Al-Nassr.

Ronaldo's current boss in Saudi Arabia is Portuguese veteran Jorge Jesus, who succeeded Stefano Pioli at Al-Nassr last July. Jesus' side finished the campaign with the most goals (91) and five more points than its nearest challengers, Riyadh rivals Al-Hilal.
