Al Nassr vs Damac LIVE updates: Minute-by-minute coverage as Cristiano Ronaldo chases the 2025–26 Saudi Pro League title

Cristiano Ronaldo has been one of the most successful players in history, shining with Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus. However, he won his last league title in 2020 with the Italian side, and it has now been six years since his last one. Needing just one win against Damac today, the veteran forward would be crowned champion of the Saudi Pro League, capping off his legendary career.

Throughout the 2025-26 season, Cristiano Ronaldo has remained Al Nassr’s most influential player. Under head coach Jorge Jesus, the veteran forward has taken on a new role, focusing solely on playing as a target man in the box. Since this change in role, he has scored 26 goals, making him the team’s top scorer. However, he appears to be losing the Golden Boot to Ivan Toney.

Ivan Toney has managed to remain the top scorer of the season in the Saudi Pro League. Playing for Al Ahli, the English forward has scored 32 goals, putting him well ahead of the Portuguese player. Close behind him is Julian Quiñones with 30 goals for Al Qadisiyah.

Following their recent draw against Al Hilal, Al Nassr head into the match against Damac with only a few possible scenarios left to secure the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League championship. With that in mind, we’ll break down the three possible scenarios for the match against Damac.

• What happens if Al-Nassr win against Damac?

If Al Nassr defeat Damac, they will be crowned champions of the 2025 Saudi Pro League. With 86 points, they would no longer depend on the outcome of the match between Al Hilal and Al-Fayha, ending a long drought without winning this title. In addition, Cristiano Ronaldo would win his first official title in the Middle East, a milestone in his sporting career.

• What happens if Al-Nassr draw against Damac?

In case Al Nassr and Damac draw in today’s match, Jorge Jesus’s team would face an uphill battle to claim the Saudi Pro League title if Al Hilal defeats Al-Fayha. With both teams tied at 84 points, goal difference would determine the league champion, and Cristiano Ronaldo’s team is at a disadvantage and would miss out on this golden opportunity.

• What happens if Al-Nassr lose against Damac?

A Damac victory over Al Nassr would seriously jeopardize Cristiano Ronaldo’s first title in the Middle East. Head coach Jorge Jesus would have to hope for an Al Hilal loss to Al-Fayha, as that would keep the standings as they are, securing the title for him after several years. However, if Al Hilal wins its match, Al Nassr would lose any chance of winning the league.

Like Al Nassr FC, Damac face the tough absence of Abdullah Al-Qahtani in midfield. However, head coach Fábio Carille maintains his hopes in Valentín Vada, who emerges as the team’s best creative and scoring outlet. In addition, Jamal Harkass and Abdelkader Bedrane will be in charge of leading the defense, a major challenge against Cristiano Ronaldo’s team.

Considering this, they will lineup as follows: Kewin; Sanousi Al-Hawsawi, Jamal Harkass, Abdelkader Bedrane, Abdulrahman Al-Obaid; Tariq Abdullah, Morlaye Sylla, Valentín Vada, Dhari Al Anazi, Arielson, Jonathan Okita.

With the absentees of Marcelo Brozovic and Sultan Al-Ghannam, Al Nassr have announced their starting lineup, including Saad Al Nasser in the midfield. Leading the offense, head coach Jorge Jesus has decided to bet again for Cristiano Ronaldo and Joao Félix. Looking to boost their chances, Kingsley Coman and Sadio Mane will shine in the wings, as they need a victory to crown as 2025-26 Saudi Pro League winners.
