In the final of the Sand Super Cup, Riyadh lost to Jeddah Nationals with a total penalty score of 5-7 and missed the Sand Super Cup. The Football News published an article talking about the fact that Ronaldo has failed to compete for the championship trophy since his victory in joining Riyadh.

Although the opponent was replaced by Jeddah nationals and the competition site was also changed to Hong Kong, China, Ronaldo still could not get rid of the nightmare of playing for the Saudi League for two years and eight months without a championship. In the Saudi Super Cup final held in Hong Kong, China, this time, although Ronaldo took the lead in the penalty kick and scored the first penalty shot, he was the first to take the penalty shot, but the Saudi teammates missed the penalty kick. After the game, Ronaldo took off his captain's armband and slapped his teammates in frustration. Since joining in early 2023, Riyadh Victory has paid Ronaldo more than 560 million euros in salary and signing fees. During this period, he has gone through 12 events and entered the cup finals three times, but it is still difficult to get a championship.

Starting the Portuguese Super Cup in August 2002, Ronaldo's career spans 23 years and has participated in 36 Cup finals, including 25 wins and 11 losses, with a total of 21 goals and 3 assists. Among them, he has won 13 Super Cups in Portugal Sports, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus and Riyadh, and won the Cup 8 times.

But since joining Riyadh in early 2023, Ronaldo has failed to compete for the championship trophy 12 times. Among them, there were 4 Saudi Super Cups, 3 Saudi League and King's Cup, and 1 each in the AFC Champions League and 1 each in the AFC Champions League. Although Ronaldo led Riyadh to win the Arab Champions League trophy in the summer of 2023, the event was hosted by the unofficial Arab Football Federation and is not recognized by the AFC, the AFC and FIFA.
