It was Ronaldo’s first league title since leading Juventus to the Italian Serie A title in 2020.
The 41-year-old has now added the Saudi championship to his English, Spanish and Italian titles and five Champions League medals.
Before winning the title, Ronaldo endured a series of disappointments after losing in the King’s Cup final to Al Hilal on penalties in 2024 a year after joining the club.
He was also on the losing side when Al Nassr suffered a 1-0 defeat to Gamba Osaka in the Asian Champions League final on Saturday.
Ronaldo scored a total of 28 goals in 30 matches for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League to finish third in the top scorers list behind Ivan Toney, who scored 32 goals and top scorer, Julian Quinones of Al Qadsiah, who finished the season with 33 goals.
Ronaldo has now won two trophies since joining the club in January 2023 after winning the Arab Club Champions Cup and the League title.
