Cristiano Ronaldo becomes the top scorer of the year 2023 in football

The Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, by scoring a brace with his club Al-Nassr against the team of Al-Ittihad, where the French Karim Benzema plays, has become the top scorer of the year 2023. With one small detail.

During the 14th matchday of the Saudi Arabian league, Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace with his team Al-Nassr, facing Karim Benzema’s club, Al-Ittihad.

Two goals that bring his total to 53 for the calendar year 2023, making him the top scorer of the year ahead of Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) and Kylian Mbappé (PSG).

A total to be relativized, however, as it includes the six goals scored by “CR7” during the Arab Club Champions Cup, an unofficial competition not recognized by FIFA. If we exclude these six goals from his total, the Portuguese would fall behind the duo formed by the Englishman and the Frenchman.

In any case, the former player of Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Juventus Turin continues to enjoy himself in Saudi Arabia.
