Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in Al-Nassr's 4-1 win over Damac on the final day of the Saudi Pro League season. The result secured the league title for Al-Nassr, two points ahead of Al-Hilal.
Mane opened the scoring for Al-Nassr before halftime.
Kingsley Coman added a second goal after the break. Damac pulled one back in the 57th minute before Ronaldo converted a free kick shortly after the hour mark. Ronaldo completed his brace with a close-range finish in the 80th minute. The Portuguese forward finished the campaign with 28 league goals.
Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr in January 2023.
He had previously won only the Arab Club Champions Cup during his time in Saudi Arabia. The league title marks his first major domestic trophy with the club. Al-Nassr had finished second in each of the previous two seasons. The club last won the Saudi Pro League in 2019.
Ronaldo celebrated on the pitch with his fiancée and children after the final whistle. The win came after Al-Nassr drew 1-1 with Al-Hilal earlier this month. Ronaldo will now join the Portuguese national team for the World Cup, which he has said will be his last.
