Al Nassr defeated Al Hilal on Saturday to win their first ever Arab Club Champions title.

Al-Nassr were victorious despite finishing with nine men after extra time.

Portuguese forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, played a key role as his team came from behind to beat fellow Saudi side Al-Hilal 2-1.

Ronaldo canceled out Michael’s opener before Abdulelah Al-Amri and Nawaf Boushal were sent off for Al-Nassr.

But Ronaldo scored again in the first half of extra time to seal his first trophy since his lucrative move.

However, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner was carted off with five minutes left following a collision, just two days before his side’s Saudi Pro League opener against Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq.

The former Real Madrid, Manchester United and Juventus forward agreed a move to the Saudi Pro League in December and helped his side finish runners-up last season.

It’s the latest trophy in the superstar forward’s cabinet, having won league titles in England, Spain and Italy, not to mention the Champions League.
