Ronaldo misses Al-Nassr win

Ronaldo endured a disappointing end to the season, as Al-Nassr missed out on the Saudi Pro League title.

According to Daily Mail, the ex-Real Madrid star wrapped up the 2022-23 season with the Saudi Arabian side on Wednesday with a 3-0 win against Al Fateh, for which he was rested.

Dinko Jelicic's side could not win the title, finishing five points behind winners Al-Ittihad.

Despite the regretful season, Ronaldo has insisted he will remain in the country and has no plans to return to Europe, despite links with clubs such as Bayern Munich.

Ronaldo injects swagger into Saudi league

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Cristiano Ronaldo's first season in Saudi Arabia ended with a whimper, but with hundreds of millions in wages and unprecedented attention on Saudi football, he may not be the last megastar to grace the oil-rich kingdom.

The fireworks and euphoria that greeted Ronaldo's gala unveiling in January were in sharp contrast to the close of Al Nassr's season when the Portuguese sat out a 3-0 win against Al Fateh late on Wednesday.

Despite signing the five-time Ballon d'Or-winner in a two-and-a-half-year deal said to total 400 million euros ($428 million), Al Nassr finished second in the Saudi Pro League without any silverware, although they qualified for the Asian Champions League as a consolation.
