After a trophy-less season following his high-profile move to Al-Nassr, Ronaldo was determined to put an end to his two-year title drought.

However, his aspirations seemed in jeopardy when Michael's goal early in the second half handed Al-Hilal the lead.

Nevertheless, a spirited performance from the 10-man squad, led by the 38-year-old maestro, completely turned the game around.

Cristiano initiated the comeback by equalizing, propelling the match into extra time, and subsequently secured the victory with the decisive winning goal, earning Al-Nassr their inaugural Arab Cup title, per Sportstar.

Regrettably, he couldn't finish the game due to a minor injury, but his teammates valiantly held their ground to ensure the win, according to GOAL.
