Cristiano Ronaldo finally won his first trophy with Al Nassr. He guided them to a 2-1 win against Al Hilal on Saturday in the Arab Club Champions Club final. Ronaldo moved to Al Nassr after the 2022 FIFA World Cup but failed to lead them to the league title. Al Nassr finished in second position in the Saudi Pro League, with Ronaldo scoring six times to finish as the top-scorer. The Portuguese star also scored twice in the final.

Al Hilal open the scoring in the 51st minute, with Michael finding the back of the net. Meanwhile, Ronaldo equalised in the 74th minute and then scored the winner in extra-time. Al Nassr were also reduced to nine men, with Abdulelah Al-Amri and Nawaf Boushal receiving red cards.

Why Cristiano Ronaldo showed frustration?

Despite winning his first title with Al Nassr, Ronaldo seemed frustrated as he didn't receive the best player award. It was received by Al Hilal's Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. Since then, a video has gone viral of the former Manchester United star. He clearly seemed annoyed and was protesting the decision.

Ronaldo expressed his joy at winning the trophy. He wrote on Twitter, "Extremely proud to help the team win this important trophy for the 1st time! Thank you to everyone in the club that was involved in this great achievement and to my family and friends for always being by my side! Fantastic support by our fans! This also belongs to you!"

Ronaldo also left the field in tears during extra time due to an injury. He had to be carried off on a golf cart. Al Nassr head coach Luis Castro also spoke about Ronaldo's injury after the match. He said, "Cristiano Ronaldo will be back as soon as possible from his injury." Probably, CR7 will miss the Saudi Pro League opener against Al Ittifaq on Monday.
