Cristiano Ronaldo's wait to get his hands on the Saudi Pro League title is over.
The Portuguese moved to Al-Nassr in 2023 but had only previously been able to help the side to finish second, second and third in the final league table, with Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal (twice) beating them to the title.
Ronaldo was a figure of amusement last week after a 98th-minute own goal from a teammate against title rivals Al-Hilal postponed the celebrations and pushed matters to the final day.
Cristiano Ronaldo is a champion once again
A defeat for Al-Nassr against relegation-battling Damac, coupled with an Al-Hilal victory away to Al-Fayha, would have seen Ronaldo and co miss out on the title instead.
But it ended up being a relatively drama-free end to campaign for Al-Nassr as they claimed a 4-1 victory that also relegated Damac.
Sadio Mane's header gave Al-Nassr the lead on 33 minutes, with Kingsley Coman curling in a second goal six minutes after the break.
There was some hope of a fightback for Damac after Morlaye Sylla tucked away a penalty awarded for handball - the only shot they managed across the 90 minutes.
But Ronaldo hit back with a brace to ensure the title went Al-Nassr's way, with his first coming from a head-height kick into the box from a narrow angle that somehow went through a crowd before sneaking in at the far post.
Ronaldo made sure of the result ten minutes from time, reacting quickly to a half-intercepted cutback from the byline and lashing a finish into the net.
Ronaldo was subbed off to a loud ovation three minutes from time before returning tot he field to help lead the celebrations with supporters and teammates, banging a fat drum and turning what looked like a small flag into a headband.
The title victory is Al-Nassr's 11th and Ronaldo's eighth, following three Premier League titles with Manchester United, two La Liga titles with Real Madrid, and two Serie A titles with Juventus.
Ronaldo will now jet out to join the Portugal squad for the 2026 World Cup.
