Cristiano Ronaldo’s spell at Al-Nassr has taken another bitter turn, as the Portuguese superstar has now lost all 13 official titles he has contested with the Saudi club. Despite his consistent individual brilliance, collective silverware continues to elude him since his arrival in Riyadh.

Cristiano Ronaldo with Al Nassr

Cristiano Ronaldo has lost 13 out of 13 official titles since joining Al-Nassr in early 2023. Despite his individual brilliance and influence on the team, major trophies have eluded him at the club. These losses include three Saudi Pro League seasons (2022/23, 2023/24, 2024/25), four King’s Cup editions (2022/23, 2023/24, 2024/25, 2025/26), multiple Saudi Super Cup finals (2022, 2023, 2024, 2025), and AFC Champions League campaigns (2023/24, 2024/25). Al Nassr’s only recent silverware was the 2023 Arab Club Champions Cup, which is not recognized by FIFA as an official title.

The latest setback was the King’s Cup exit against Al Ittihad on October 28, 2025, where Al Nassr lost 2-1 despite Al Ittihad playing with ten men for most of the match. Ronaldo assisted a goal but could not help his team secure a win. Al Nassr currently leads the Saudi Pro League and remains unbeaten in the AFC Champions League group stage, offering Ronaldo a final chance to break this drought this season.

Messi said something on players

Lionel Messi underlines his long-standing philosophy about team success coming before personal accolades. He has often emphasized that individual achievements are only possible when the team performs well. The line “Many players become obsessed with individual records… the team must first win”, reflects his belief that football’s essence lies in collective effort rather than personal milestones.

Last time Cristiano Ronaldo won official title in 2021

Cristiano Ronaldo’s last official club title was indeed in 2021 with Juventus. He won the Coppa Italia with Juventus on May 19, 2021, when Juventus defeated Atalanta 2-1 in the final. This victory marked the last major club trophy Ronaldo has won as of now. Since then, Ronaldo has not won any official club trophies with Manchester United or Al Nassr, despite continuing to play at a high level. The last time Cristiano Ronaldo lifted an official club trophy was the 2021 Coppa Italia with Juventus, confirming that statement to be accurate.
