Ronaldo makes history with Saudi Pro League title in 4th country
Cristiano Ronaldo sets unprecedented football record after leading Al-Nassr to Saudi Pro League championship on Thursday. The 41-year-old Portugal captain scored twice in the decisive 4-2 victory over Damac, securing the title ahead of rivals Al-Hilal with goals from Sadio Mane and Kingsley Coman completing the triumph.
According to Marca, Ronaldo is now the only player to win the top scorer award and league title in four different countries - England (Manchester United), Spain (Real Madrid), Italy (Juventus), and Saudi Arabia (Al-Nassr). This achievement further cements his status among football's greatest players as he enters his 40s.
The Portugal international will now prepare for the 2026 FIFA World Cup starting next month. At 41, Ronaldo continues to defy age expectations while maintaining world-class performance. Does this historic achievement signal a new era where top players extend their careers in emerging leagues like Saudi Arabia?
