Ronaldo netted his 54th goal in 2023 during Al-Nassr’s 4-1 victory over Al-Taawoun, narrowing the gap between his team and league leaders Al-Hilal to seven points. His goal pushed him two ahead of Harry Kane from Bayern Munich and England, as well as Kylian Mbappe from PSG and France, both of whom scored 52 goals. Following the game, the Portuguese legend expressed his aim to reclaim the top spot in the coming year.
Speaking to Saudi outlet SSC Sports, Ronaldo expressed his satisfaction, highlighting a successful year both personally and collectively. His prolific goal-scoring not only contributed significantly to Al-Nassr but also to the national team. Looking ahead, he voiced his intention to replicate this success next year.
Ronaldo’s scoring prowess has persisted consistently throughout his career, continuing even after his departure from Manchester United under Erik ten Hag. Despite being dropped, the 38-year-old has maintained his exceptional goal-scoring form, relentlessly adding to his tally in Saudi Arabia and for Portugal.
Ronaldo and Al-Nassr will resume action against domestic rivals Al-Feiha in the Asian Champions League on February 12, coinciding with the 2023 Asian Cup break. He aims to lead his team to victory in the tournament, potentially securing another title to his impressive collection of trophies.
