Cristiano Ronaldo’s updated career titles compared to Lionel Messi after Al Nassr’s Saudi Pro League win

Al Nassr defeated Damac 4-1, securing the Saudi Pro League title on the final matchday of the competition, leaving behind Al Hilal, who were very close to snatching the joy away from Cristiano Ronaldo. With this triumph, Ronaldo has finally conquered what he had searched for since his arrival in Saudi Arabia, and with this trophy, comparisons with Lionel Messi once again emerged.

With this Saudi Pro League title, Ronaldo reached a total of 36 trophies won in his career at club and national team level. Meanwhile, Messi holds the upper hand in this area with 46 career titles to his name.

Al Nassr put on a brilliant performance, featuring goals from Sadio Mane, Kingsley Coman, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored a brace and secured his 973rd career goal. The goal-scoring display from one of the best players in history, who has chased this title for so long, could not be missed.

Ronaldo and Messi’s club titles

Ronaldo had a much bigger journey across different clubs than Messi. The Portuguese star played for Sporting CP, Manchester United (two stints), Real Madrid and Juventus before landing at Al Nassr. Messi, on the other hand, has only played for three clubs: Barcelona, PSG, and Inter Miami.
