Al Nassr suffered a terrible and disappointing defeat against Gamba Osaka in the AFC Champions League Two, with Cristiano Ronaldo still searching for his first title with the club since his arrival. They also failed to get the result they needed after Al Hilal’s victory, which left the Saudi Pro League standings very tight. And now the question emerged: How many finals has Ronaldo lost since his arrival?
With the final loss to Gamba Osaka, Cristiano has now lost four finals at Al Nassr. The first was the 2023-24 King’s Cup Final against Al Hilal on penalties, the second was the 2024 Saudi Super Cup Final against Al Hilal, and the third came at the 2025 Saudi Super Cup Final, lost to Al Ahli on penalties.
This AFC Champions League Two final ended in a 1-0 defeat after Al Nassr conceded a goal in the 30th minute, and an incredible fact is that it was the only shot on target by the opponents during the entire match, enough to take the title away from them. However, Ronaldo and Al Nassr can still win the Saudi Pro League in the final matchday.
Al Nassr remain in the fight for a title
The defeat was definitely a result against all expectations. Al Nassr were the clear favorites, especially with Cristiano Ronaldo searching for that title he has fought for during such a long time, but they still couldn’t get it done. However, Al Nassr have the opportunity in the Saudi Pro League, which has one matchday remaining.

Al Nassr have 83 points, which keeps them in first place, while Al Hilal, who are second, have 81 points after their victory over Neom on Saturday. Al Nassr are forced to win to avoid complications. With a draw, they would still be in some danger due to goal difference (60), as Al Hilal (57) would need to win by a difference of four goals to overtake them and steal the title. And if Al Nassr lose while Al Hilal win, Ronaldo would be left empty-handed.
It will all be decided on May 21, 2026, when the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League finale takes place. Al Nassr will face Damac, and simultaneously, Al Hilal will play Al Fayha.
The last continental club title won by Ronaldo
Ronaldo’s most recent official continental club trophy dates back to 2018, when he helped Real Madrid win the UEFA Champions League during the 2017-18 season. That title was the fifth Champions League trophy of his career.
