The Saudi Pro League have officially unveiled the five-man shortlist for the prestigious 2025-26 Player of the Season award. As a dramatic title race between Al Nassr and Al Hilal reaches its climax on the final day, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ivan Toney headline the nominations alongside Joao Felix, Julian Quinones, and Ruben Neves in a competitive year.

Cristiano Ronaldo enjoyed the last laugh in his budding rivalry with Ivan Toney as Al-Nassr moved a step closer to the Saudi Pro League title. The Portuguese superstar was seen mockingly celebrating in the Al-Ahli and England striker's face during a heated encounter on Wednesday night.

Cristiano Ronaldo has candidly admitted that the final whistle on his legendary career is approaching fast. The Portuguese icon, now 41, remains the driving force behind Al-Nassr’s pursuit of silverware, but has acknowledged that his time at the top is naturally reaching its conclusion.

Merih Demiral has sensationally claimed that referees are being influenced to help Al-Nassr win the Saudi Pro League title following a feisty encounter with Al-Ahli. The Turkish defender, who previously played alongside Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus, was left fuming after his side fell to a 2-0 defeat that saw tempers flare both on and off the pitch.
