The final ended in a penalty shootout, where Al-Hilal won. Ronaldo scored his penalty, but Al-Nassr lost because the opposing goalkeeper saved two penalties. Ronaldo, who is 39 years old, had a good season, scoring 35 goals, setting a new record in the Saudi Pro League. He joined Al-Nassr in 2023 after leaving Manchester United. Despite his impressive performance, Ronaldo has only won one trophy so far. In the final, there were three red cards, and the match ended 1-1 after extra time. Al-Hilal won the penalty shootout 5-4.

Ronaldo was even taunted by rival fans. Al-Nassr finished second in the league, far behind Al-Hilal. This was the 11th King’s Cup win for Al-Hilal. Ronaldo will have to wait until next season to try again for a major trophy.
