After 4 years of fighting with Al Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo was able to win his first title in Saudi Arabia, and he could not hold back the tears as he thought about the title.
After years of criticism, lost finals, and frustrations in Saudi Arabia, Cristiano Ronaldo finally burst into tears after winning the league with Al Nassr.
The team beat Damac 4-1 on the final matchday of the Saudi Pro League, and Cristiano scored a decisive brace to secure the championship.
As soon as the match ended, the cameras showed him completely emotional, crying while greeting people and hugging his teammates before the match ended.
The image was striking because it is not common to see him so vulnerable. For years he was seen as obsessed with winning something important in Arabia, especially after several disappointments with Al Nassr.
He had even starred in very harsh scenes after defeats in finals, where he also ended up crying out of helplessness. This time the tears were different: they were of relief and happiness.
According to reports, when he was substituted in the final stretch of the match he received a standing ovation from the stadium, and at that point he could no longer hold it in. He covered his face, looked to the sky, and cried while his family watched him from the stands.
