After Al Nassr were eliminated from the AFC Champions League Elite and lost to direct rivals Al Ittihad in the race for the Saudi Pro League title, Cristiano Ronaldo has only one goal left, which is to score more goals to retain the SPL top scorer award, and at the same time get closer to the 1,000-goal milestone.
Despite his incredible scoring form (23 goals in the SPL, 33 in all competitions), Cristiano Ronaldo was absent from the match against Al Okhdood in round 31 of the SPL. In the absence of their captain, Al Nassr played brilliantly and won 9-0. This result helped the capital team return to the top 3, meaning a ticket to the Asian Cup next season.

Ronaldo is still unlucky with titles in the Middle East. |
This is the third consecutive season that Ronaldo and Al Nassr have gone empty-handed, despite the Portuguese superstar maintaining an impressive scoring performance. After two and a half years with the Saudi team, CR7 has scored 97 goals and had 19 assists in 109 matches. This season alone, he leads the Saudi Pro League's top scorer list with 23 goals, surpassing both Karim Benzema and Hamdallah.
However, Ronaldo has yet to win any major titles with Al Nassr. They came very close to glory when reaching the finals of the National Cup and National Super Cup, but both fell short, including a painful 1-4 loss to Al Hilal last season.
Ronaldo played a pioneering role, paving the way for a wave of big stars to come to the Saudi Pro League. But the rapid growth of the league, especially the Public Investment Fund (PIF)-backed teams such as Al Hilal, Al Ittihad and Al Ahli, made his journey to the title thorny.
In Al Hilal's slumping season, Al Ittihad, with a balanced and cohesive squad, emerged as the top contender for the championship. Meanwhile, Al Nassr finished third, not even sure of a place in the continental cup.
With his contract expiring in July, Cristiano Ronaldo's future is a big question mark. Previously, the press revealed that Al Nassr was considering the possibility of parting ways with CR7.
