On the evening of August 23rd, Al Nassr and Al Ahli contested an intense Saudi Super Cup final, with Ronaldo achieving the landmark of 100 goals for Al Nassr but still unable to stop the rival from claiming victory in the penalty shootout.

On the night of August 23rd, the Saudi Super Cup final between Al Nassr and Al Ahli was fiercely competitive. Ronaldo opened the scoring from the penalty spot before Kessié equalized. In the second half, Brozović put Al Nassr ahead 2-1, but Ibanez scored an equalizer in the 89th minute, forcing the match to be decided by penalties. There, Al Ahli successfully converted all five attempts, while Al Nassr missed twice, losing 3-5. Ultimately, Al Ahli were crowned champions, and Ronaldo once again missed out on his first title with the Saudi club.

During the tense penalty shootout against Al Ahli, Ronaldo could not hide his despair. He knelt on the pitch, pleading as if seeking luck for Al Nassr to secure their first trophy.

That moment revealed the Portuguese superstar’s intense desire on his journey with the Saudi club. However, after the defeat, Ronaldo quietly removed his captain’s armband and walked off the field with a heavy, disappointed expression. That image reflected his helplessness and deep sorrow as he continued to miss out on his first trophy at Al Nassr.

Cristiano Ronaldo made history by becoming the first player to score over 100 goals for four different clubs, following his goal against Al Ahli. At 40 years old, the Portuguese superstar reached 100 goals for Al Nassr, bringing his career total to 940 goals — an unprecedented record.

This extraordinary achievement was accomplished while wearing the jerseys of four major clubs: Real Madrid (451 goals in 438 matches, the club’s all-time top scorer, with 4 Champions League titles), Manchester United (145 goals in 346 matches), Juventus (101 goals in 134 matches), and Al Nassr (100 goals in 113 matches).
