Cristiano Ronaldo has won his first Saudi Pro League title since signing for Al-Nassr.
It has been over three years since Cristiano Ronaldo’s second Manchester United exit.
Ronaldo, who left Old Trafford under a grey cloud after falling out with former United manager Erik ten Hag, slated the club in an infamous interview with Piers Morgan ahead of his departure.
That exit led to a move to Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Nassr, with whom the 41-year-old is under contract until June 2027.

Cristiano Ronaldo wins Saudi Pro League
Ronaldo sealed a long-awaited title with Al-Nassr on Thursday night.

However, winning the Saudi Pro League title will come as a relief to Ronaldo, after finishing top scorer in the previous two campaigns despite finishing runners-up on both occasions.
The Portuguese veteran was reduced to tears when the referee blew the whistle for full-time. It marked his first major honour since 2020 during his time at Juventus.
