It was a disappointing final for Al-Nassr. Al-Ahli won the final, while Cristiano Ronaldo was heartbroken. I think the title race will be intense in the Saudi Arabian pro league this year. Al-Ahli is also showing a good performance in the preseason. Along with Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal, there are four teams that could be in Al-Ittihad.
It was tough for Cristiano Ronaldo. But he can try again in 2026, as his contract has been extended now. What would haunt them is the fact that they were on the lead on two separate occasions, and on both the occasions Al Ahli managed to level up. Ronaldo scored first, but then Franck Kessié equaled a few minutes later. And the same happened in second half, with Marcelo Brozović and Roger Ibañez being the players involved. But still Al Nassr should be proud about the fact that they reached the final.
