Al-Nassr ended their season with a heartbreaking defeat to Al-Hilal in the King Cup of Champions final. Following the loss, Al-Nassr’s Cristiano Ronaldo broke down into tears.
Ronaldo did end the season on a heartbreaking note but in terms of his individual achievements, the latest campaign turned out to be a historic one for the Portuguese legend.

Ronaldo, at the age of 39, scored 50 goals across all competitions representing Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr last season. His stellar performance was enough for him to claim the Saudi Pro League Golden Boot award for the 2023-24 season.
With this, the Portuguese became the first footballer to win Golden Boots in four different countries.
Ronaldo’s 35 goals in the Saudi Pro League last season also marked the highest tally ever posted in a single edition in that particular division. He also touched the 50-goal mark in a single season for the first time since 2016 when he was plying his trade for the European giants Real Madrid.
