Cristiano Ronaldo continues to defy age and expectations as the 40-year-old Portuguese legend swept the 2025–26 Saudi Pro League end-of-season awards following a sensational campaign with Al-Nassr. With records shattered, accolades claimed, and his hunger for success undiminished, CR7 has once again proven why he remains one of the most iconic footballers in history.
Cristiano Ronaldo was officially crowned
Cristiano Ronaldo was officially crowned the Fans’ Player of the Season, a prestigious title awarded to the footballer with the most man-of-the-match performances throughout the campaign. Cristiano Ronaldo earned this honor after collecting 15 man-of-the-match awards from just 30 league appearances, leading the division in this metric.
But that wasn’t all. Ronaldo also finished as the league’s top scorer, finding the back of the net 25 times in the 2025–26 Saudi Pro League season. His relentless pursuit of excellence in front of goal helped fuel Al-Nassr’s title challenge and provided countless moments of magic for the fans.
Goal of the Season Magic
In addition to being the fans’ favorite and top scorer, Ronaldo walked away with the Goal of the Season award. His award-winning strike—a stunning volley in Matchweek 27 against Al Riyadh—earned 19% of the total votes. The perfectly timed rocket into the top corner not only won the match 2-1 but also highlighted Ronaldo’s unmatched technique and composure under pressure.

While Ronaldo dominated the headlines, the awards night also recognized other moments of brilliance. French midfielder N’Golo Kanté earned special praise for an exceptional assist in Matchweek 5, where he danced past multiple defenders before setting up Steven Bergwijn for a goal in a commanding 4-1 win. Though it wasn’t a goal, the play was lauded as one of the most technically gifted highlights of the season.
A Massive Contract Extension
As speculation swirled around Ronaldo’s next move, the footballing icon silenced all rumors by extending his contract with Al-Nassr for two more years, keeping him in Saudi Arabia until after his 42nd birthday. The new agreement, reportedly worth a staggering £492 million (\$668 million), reaffirms his status as the highest-paid athlete on the planet.
Despite being in his 40s, Ronaldo’s elite fitness, sharp form, and insatiable hunger remain intact. Many now believe he is on track to surpass the 1,000 career goal mark—a feat few thought possible.
