Ronaldo's AFC Champions League stint ended in disappointment, with Al-Nassr losing to Al Ain in a penalty shootout in the quarter-finals.
The Portuguese star still scored six goals in the competition, three of which he bagged in the knockout stage.
He scored twice against Al-Fayha in the Round of 16 and netted once against Al Ain in the second leg of their quarter-final.
King's Cup
Ronaldo moved ever closer to reaching the 40-goal mark this season after scoring a double in the King's Cup semi-finals against Al Khaleej.
He opened the scoring in the 17th minute after some careless play from Al Khaleej. They tried to play out from the back, but that plan backfired as Al-Nassr won the ball thanks to a high press.
Ronaldo took full advantage of that mistake, winning the ball in the final third before hooking a fantastic left-footed shot from outside the box into the empty net, per Sporting News.
