While Ronaldo broke the scoring record, his team finished second, 14 points behind Al Hilal, who won the league title unbeaten, winning 31 games and drawing only three.
The veteran will now turn his attention to the Euros, for which he has been named in the final squad. This will be the 11th time that Cristiano Ronaldo will play the European Championships, having won the title two times in his career.
But after missing out on the FIFA World Cup, the striker will want to give it his all once again to claim silverware with the national team again.
