The 2025 Saudi Super Cup final was a match to remember. Throughout the game, both Al Nassr and Al Ahli showed they had the tools to claim the trophy, providing moments of intense excitement. The final result was frustrating for Cristiano Ronaldo, who is still searching for his first club title with Al Nassr.
Since joining Al Nassr in December 2022, Ronaldo’s main goal has been to lead the team to a major trophy, and they’ve come close several times. In the Saudi Pro League, they’ve consistently finished behind Al Ittihad and Al Hilal, and their fortunes in other domestic tournaments have been no better.
In the two and a half years Cristiano has spent in Saudi Arabia, he’s reached three finals—and lost all three. Al Hilal defeated him in the 2023–24 King’s Cup and the 2024 Saudi Super Cup, while this past Saturday, Al Ahli triumphed in the decisive match of the 2025 Saudi Super Cup.
This extends an incredible winless streak for Ronaldo at the club level: his last title came more than four years ago. It was in May 2021, when he won the Coppa Italia 2020-21 with Juventus, defeating Atalanta in the final. Since then, his time at Manchester United and now at Al Nassr has seen him still searching for an official club trophy.
