RIYADH, May 27: Al-Ittihad capped off a remarkable campaign by securing the 2024-2025 Roshen League title, finishing with a record-breaking 83 points — the highest in the club's history since the inception of the Saudi Professional League in 2008-2009. This marks the club's third title in the professional era. The first came in the league's inaugural season (2008-2009), when Al-Ittihad claimed the championship with 55 points, finishing five points ahead of Al-Hilal. After a long wait, the western giants returned to glory in the 2022-2023 season, lifting the title with 72 points, again five points clear of second-placed Al-Nassr. Now, Al-Ittihad has raised the bar even higher. With an impressive 83 points this season, it surpassed its previous record and finished eight points ahead of its closest rivals, Al-Hilal, underlining its dominance and crowning an exceptional season.

"This chapter is over": Cristiano Ronaldo set to leave Al-Nassr
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇩🇪 here. The already suspected departure of Cristiano Ronaldo from Al-Nassr is becoming increasingly likely. Now the star himself is hinting at it in a social media post. On Monday evening, the Portuguese posted a picture of himself in the Al-Nassr jersey with the text: "This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Thanks to all." This chapter is story? Still being to all. — Cristiano Ronaldo (@Cristiano) May 26, 2025 A pretty clear message that can only be understood as a farewell from Saudi Arabia. Already a few months ago, the first rumors emerged that Ronaldo would not extend his contract, which expires in the summer. These rumors became even louder when Al-Nassr finished the season only 4th in the Saudi Professional League and thus missed out on participation in the AFC Champions League. 📸 PATRICIA DE MELO MOREIRA - AFP or licensors

Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr face off in a key Saudi League clash
RIYADH, April 3: Riyadh will be the stage for a thrilling Saudi derby between Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr in the 26th round of the Saudi Professional League.

This clash is crucial for Al-Hilal to keep its title hopes alive, as it aims to stay within reach of Al-Ittihad, while Al-Nassr is determined to close the gap on the league leaders.

Al-Nassr has failed to secure a win in this fixture during this month, with Al-Hilal recording five victories and two draws across seven encounters.
