The end for Ronaldo's team.

In the early hours of May 8th, Ronaldo and his teammates lost 2-3 to Al Ittihad at home in the 30th round of the Saudi Pro League.

Ronaldo's team was disappointing.

After a bitter elimination from the AFC Champions League Elite semi-finals, Al Nassr suffered another defeat against a direct competitor in the title race.

Al Nassr led 2-0 after the first half thanks to goals from Sadio Mane and Ayman Yahya, but ultimately lost 2-3. Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kante, and Houssem Aouar all shone to help the visitors complete a spectacular comeback. This result leaves Al Nassr 10 points behind Al Ittihad in the league table, with only four rounds remaining in the season.

Despite maintaining his impressive goal-scoring record, Ronaldo is almost certain to go four consecutive years without a trophy. Since winning the Italian Cup in 2021 with Juventus, the Portuguese striker has not won any further titles. In 2023, Al Nassr won the Arab Club Champions Cup, but this was considered a friendly tournament.

Not only were Al Nassr overtaken by Al Ittihad in the title race, but they also dropped out of the top 3 in the domestic league and face the risk of not qualifying for the Asian Cup next season.

Returning to the Saudi Pro League title race, Benzema and his teammates hold a significant advantage, leading second-placed Al Hilal by 6 points. Benzema has the opportunity to lift the Saudi Arabian championship trophy ahead of Ronaldo, even though he arrived in the Middle East a year later than his former teammate.
