How Al-Nassr lost the league title
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner's team needed to beat Al-Ettifaq away from home to stay within three points of the league leaders entering the season's final game.
They went behind in the first-half after a Youssouf Niakate strike, but Luis Gustavo gave the visitors the equaliser in the 56th minute.
The Brazilian midfielder thought he gave the Knights the lead in the 84th minute, but VAR had other ideas. The game ended in a draw, and Al-Nassr mathematically crashed out of the title race.
