Cristiano Ronaldo is the top scorer of 2023! In his last game, he broke his own record this year

Cristiano Ronaldo was already the top scorer for the 2023 calendar year in the previous game, but he improved his 53-goal tally by one goal the day before the 2024 campaign. With this fantastic performance, he proved that even at the age of 38 he can score goals and we can only look forward to what he will show us next.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored 54 goals in 2023

Erling Haaland of Manchester City scored 50 goals in 2023. Kylian Mbappé playing for PSG and Harry Kane donning the Bayern jersey have scored two more goals this year than the Norwegian striker. However, all of them were surpassed by the ageless Cristiano Ronaldo.

The star Portuguese, who plays for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, has scored 54 goals this season. In the penultimate game, he orchestrated his team’s victory in a 5-2 win over Al-Ittihad, contributing two accurate goals. He reached the number 52 mark, equalling Mbappé and Kane, and the number 53 mark, making him number one on the scorers’ list.

However, that number of goals was not enough for Ronaldo as his Al-Nassr played one last game in 2023 and that was against Al Taawon. The second team of the Saudi Professional League defeated their opponents 4-1. For a long time it looked like the Portuguese would not make it. His time came in the 92nd minute, when he closed out the scoring.

Ronaldo takes Al-Nassr to the title, but far from it

Cristiano Ronaldo, in addition to being the top scorer of 2023, also leads the scorers’ table in the top Saudi Arabian league. The Portuguese scored 20 goals for Al-Nassr during the autumn. Second-placed Aleksandar Mitrovic of Al-Hilal scored three less.

Ronaldo also tops the assists table. For his teammates, the Portuguese has already invented nine goal assists, something only Alvar Medrano of Al-Taawon has managed.

With 29 Canadian points, Ronaldo has contributed to more than half of Al-Nassr’s goals as the team’s total recorded score stands at 55 goals. In terms of points, Al-Nassr has accumulated 46 points, which is enough for second place so far.

Despite the great performance of Cristiano Ronaldo, his team is seven points behind the leading Al-Hilal. Considering that the leading team of the Saudi Professional League has not lost yet this year and has only lost points on two occasions, it seems very unlikely that they will lose their position.
