The King has spoken — but not with words alone.
After scoring his 936th career goal in Al Nassr’s final Saudi League match of the 2024/25 season, Cristiano Ronaldo left fans stunned — not just by his performance, but by a chilling post-match message that now echoes across the globe:
> 🗣️ “This chapter has closed. My story is still being written again. Thank you everyone.”
⚽ The match: Al Nassr fell 2-3 to Al Fateh in heartbreaking fashion, surrendering a late lead in the last 10 minutes. Despite the loss, Ronaldo found the net with a trademark header in the 42nd minute, finishing the season with 25 league goals, clinching the Golden Boot once again — for the second straight year.
📉 Yet the team ended in third place, trophyless, and far behind rivals Al Ittihad and Al Hilal — a bitter disappointment for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, who joined the club in January 2023 with dreams of dominating Asia.
💥 In 111 appearances for Al Nassr, CR7 scored 99 goals — an astonishing strike rate. But now, with his contract expiring in June, the club wants a renewal at reduced terms, while two offers — including one from rivals Al Hilal — have landed on his table.
👑 The twist? FIFA President Gianni Infantino recently suggested that Ronaldo could play at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, and Al Hilal — who have qualified — may give him the stage he craves… potentially alongside Real Madrid.
💭 The world is now watching: Will CR7 renew, switch sides in Saudi Arabia, or make one last blockbuster return to Europe or even MLS?
One thing is certain — Cristiano Ronaldo’s story is far from over. But Al Nassr’s chapter may a
lready be closed.
