In other words, it was Cristiano Ronaldo’s last chance to beat Aleksander Mitrovic’s teammates and win his first title with the Saudi team, which finished second behind Al-Hilal, winner of the Saudi Pro League Championship.

Reduced to ten men, Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates managed to equalize and go to penalties. But after a seventh and final missed attempt due to a fine save from Yassine Bounou, Al-Hilal won the title at the end of a great battle. Enough to leave Cristiano Ronaldo on the ground and in tears on the pitch, at the end of the match. Lying on the ground for several minutes, the Portuguese was comforted by his supporters.
