Cristiano Ronaldo continues to dominate the headlines since completing his winter transfer switch to Saudi club Al-Nassr.
The Portuguese star, who also doubles as captain of the club, has consistently shattered records and attained notable heights in the Middle Eastern nation.
Ronaldo’s impressive goal haul has seen him guide Luis Castro’s side to a first title and earned him several prestigious awards.
Kafuraha Media delves into five noteworthy accolades that the former Manchester United forward has secured since his arrival at Al-Nassr.
Saudi Pro League POTM February 2023
It took Ronaldo barely two months to leave his imprint on the Saudi league. The Portuguese forward clinched the Player of the Month prize in his second month at Al-Nassr. As reported by Marca, the 38-year-old scored eight goals in those five appearances through that month and was able to clinch his maiden award in the league.
Arab Club Champions Cup tournament topscorer
Ronaldo also clinched the top scorer’s award in the Arab Club Champions Cup. As reported by Sports Illustrated, the forward found the back of the net six times in as many appearances to clinch his second award at Al-Nassr.
Saudi Pro League POTM August 2023
Ronaldo again was voted the Saudi Player of the Month following his impressive start to the 2023/24 football season. The Portuguese star had a blistering start to the season, and clinched the award after being involved in five goals and two assists as reported by Marca.
Saudi Pro League POTM September 2023
Ronaldo continued his impressive start to the season after recording another five goals and three assists in his four appearances through September. The Al-Nassr captain’s impressive form has been pivotal to his side’s chase of their first Saudi Pro League title since 2019.
Arab Club Champions Cup win with Al-Nassr
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was instrumental to Luis Castro’s side ending their four-year trophy drought.
