Al Ittihad have held off the challenge of Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr to secure the 2022/23 Saudi Pro League with one game remaining this season.
Ronaldo's side needed Nuno Espirito Santo's table-toppers to slip up in the run-in but they held their nerve to be crowned champions, despite the pressure.
Al Nassr will still qualify for the 2023/24 AFC Champions League, as league runners up, but Al Ittihad will compete in the 2023 FIFA Club World Cup, as Ronaldo ends his first season in Saudi Arabia without a trophy.
The relegation battle will be settled on the final weekend of the campaign, on May 31, with Al Feiha, Al Khaleej and Al Adalah in danger of joining Al Batin in the second tier next season.
