Ronaldo's Title Miss a Stark Reminder of Professional Sports' Fickle Nature Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr's hopes for their first Saudi Pro League title in seven years were cruelly dashed on Tuesday by an own goal from goalkeeper Bento.
The match against local rivals Al Hilal was supposed to be the crowning moment of Ronaldo's time with the club, but it turned out to be a heart wrenching defeat instead.
The circumstances surrounding the own goal are nothing short of bizarre – an injury time fumble that sent the ball into his own net.
