In Riyadh, Senegalese player Sadio Mane, after an assist from João Félix, put Al-Nassr ahead in the 34th minute, a lead extended in the 52nd by Kingsley Coman. Morlaye Sylla reduced the deficit for the visitors in the 58th minute from a penalty, shortly before Cristiano Ronaldo scored his second goal to seal the victory, with goals in the 63rd and 81st minutes.
The team coached by Portuguese manager Jorge Jesus finished the championship with 86 points, two more than Al Hilal, with Rúben Neves in second place after winning 1-0 against Al Fayha, in a game where the Portuguese midfielder was a starter.
Al Nassr, which has had Cristiano Ronaldo since 2023, won the Saudi Arabian championship title for the ninth time, six years after their last victory in 2018/19, then under the command of Rui Vitória, who succeeded Hélder Cristóvão that same season. Jorge Jesus wins the Saudi Arabian title again, which he had snatched in 2023/24 while managing Al Hilal, repeating the feats of Nuno Espírito Santo with Al Ittihad in 2022/23, Leonardo Jardim and José Morais, both at Al Hilal, in 2020/21, as well as the late Artur Jorge in 2001/02.









The tasca I have lunch at could field a team that would finish midtable in the Saudi league.
