Al Nassr v Al Ittihad - Saudi Pro League
Cristiano Ronaldo has once again proven that age is just a number, sweeping major honours at the Saudi Pro League's end-of-season awards ceremony following a record-breaking campaign with Al-Nassr. At 40, the Portuguese icon was officially named the 2025-26 Fans' Player of the Season, a title awarded to the player who earns the most man-of-the-match selections across the campaign.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Ronaldo, who continues to rewrite the history books, collected 15 man-of-the-match accolades from his 30 league appearances, more than any other player in the division. This helped him win the Player of the Season award. He also finished as the league’s top scorer, netting 25 goals across the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League season. His knack for delivering in key moments has made him a talisman for the Riyadh-based club as the forward continues to chase his first league title in the Middle East.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Alongside being named the top fan favourite, Ronaldo also walked away with the Goal of the Season award, with 19 per cent of the total votes. The winning strike came during Matchweek 27 against Al Riyadh, when Ronaldo unleashed a spectacular volley that rocketed into the top corner and helped secure a 2-1 win for Al-Nassr.
DID YOU KNOW?
While Ronaldo took home two of the night’s biggest prizes, another standout performer was N’Golo Kante, who was recognised for an exceptional moment of skill. During Matchweek 5, the French midfielder eluded multiple defenders before assisting Steven Bergwijn’s goal, which contributed to a dominant 4-1 victory. That moment, though not a goal itself, earned praise as one of the most technically-gifted highlights of the season.

WHAT NEXT FOR RONALDO?
Amid months of speculation about his next move, Ronaldo has ended all uncertainty by extending his contract with Al-Nassr for another two years. The deal, which ensures his stay in Saudi Arabia until after his 42nd birthday, confirms his commitment to the club. Already the highest-paid athlete on the planet, Ronaldo’s new agreement is believed to be worth £492 million ($668 million) across two years. With his fitness, form, and hunger all still intact, few would bet against him reaching the 1,000-goal mark before finally calling time on a career unlike any other.
