Al Nassr, managed by Jorge Jesus, crowned themselves Saudi Arabian football champions today after defeating Damac 4-1 on the final matchday of the season, featuring a brace from Cristiano Ronaldo and an assist from João Félix. In Riyadh, Senegal’s Sadio Mané opened the scoring for Al Nassr in the 34th minute following an assist from João Félix, a lead that was expanded in the 52nd minute by Kingsley Coman.
Visitors Damac managed to pull one back through a Morlaye Sylla penalty in the 58th minute, shortly before Cristiano Ronaldo sealed the victory with a brace, scoring in the 63rd and 81st minutes.
The squad guided by Jorge Jesus closed out the championship campaign with 86 points, finishing two points ahead of Rúben Neves’s Al Hilal, who secured second place today after a 1-0 win over Al Fayha in a match where the Portuguese midfielder started.
Al Nassr, which has featured Cristiano Ronaldo in its ranks since 2023, conquered the Saudi Arabian championship title for the ninth time in its history, ending a six-year drought since its last triumph in the 2018/19 season under the management of Rui Vitória.

Jorge Jesus celebrates winning the Saudi league trophy once again, a title he previously captured in the 2023/24 season while at the helm of Al Hilal.
With this victory, Jesus continues a long legacy of Portuguese coaching success in the Gulf nation, replicating top-tier league title achievements previously accomplished by Nuno Espírito Santo with Al Ittihad, Leonardo Jardim and José Morais with Al Hilal, as well as the late Artur Jorge back in the 2001/02 campaign.
