The Ronaldo major trophy draught Al Nassr has been a talking point since the Portuguese star joined the Saudi club in 2023. Despite his remarkable impact on and off the pitch, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has yet to secure a major trophy with Al Nassr. Could the 2025/26 season finally end this drought?
Ronaldo’s arrival at Al Nassr boosted the club’s global profile and the Saudi Pro League’s appeal. However, his trophy cabinet with the club shows only the 2023 Arab Club Champions Cup, a regional title not widely recognized as a major honor. Finals appearances in the King’s Cup and Saudi Super Cup have ended in defeat, intensifying the pressure to deliver silverware.
Currently second in the SPL table, Al Nassr sits just one point behind leaders Al Ahli but holds a game in hand. With 12 games left and the Riyadh Derby against Al Hilal looming in May, Ronaldo and his team are in prime position to challenge for the league title.
Al Nassr is the league’s hottest team, riding a five-game winning streak, with Ronaldo scoring four goals during this run. Whether this momentum translates into a major trophy remains to be seen, but the stage is set for a potential breakthrough.
