Ronaldo set new records, wins Saudi Pro League awards

Cristiano Ronaldo has continued to redefine the boundaries of longevity and greatness as the Al-Nassr forward dominated the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League Awards, claiming Fans' Player of the Season, Player of the Season, and Goal of the Season.

Ronaldo's 2024-25 campaign was nothing short of phenomenal, with 15 Man-of-the-Match performances in 30 league appearances, he proved to be the most influential player in the Saudi Pro League.

He also topped the goal-scoring charts, netting 25 goals and leading Al-Nassr's charge toward domestic glory.

His explosive form earned him the Player of the Season award, while his popularity among fans helped him clinch the Fans’ Player of the Season, an accolade determined by the highest number of Man-of-the-Match votes.

Ronaldo also claimed the Goal of the Season, winning 19% of the fan vote for his outrageous volley in Matchweek 27 against Al Riyadh. With the game tied and tension high, Ronaldo unleashed a thunderous shot into the top corner to seal a dramatic 2–1 victory.

While Ronaldo stole most of the spotlight, N’Golo Kanté was also honoured for his moment of brilliance.

The former Chelsea midfielder dazzled fans in Matchweek 5 with a solo run that saw him beat multiple defenders before setting up Steven Bergwijn for a stunning goal in Al-Ittihad’s 4-1 rout.

Though it didn’t win Goal of the Season, the skill was highlighted as one of the season’s standout moments.
