When he left for Saudi Arabia, it was rumored that this was the end of his career – but he continued pushing the boundaries even at his new address. Yes, it is a competition ‘weaker’ than the previous ones, but interesting enough after the huge investments of the Arabs last summer. That’s why, when the line is drawn, Cristiano Ronaldo can proudly state that he ends 2023 as the best scorer in the calendar year.Mane and Cristiano teach Benzema a brutal lesson!No one on planet Earth was more efficient than the Portuguese. Until Tuesday evening, it was Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe, but yesterday evening CR7 scored two penalties in the triumph of Al Nassr over Al Ittihad (5-2) and overtook the aces of Bayern and Paris Saint-Germain. Since it was his last game before entering 2024, it will be recorded that Ronaldo hit the net 53 times, for the club or the national team combined. He left behind an Englishman and a Frenchman, who, in addition to national teams, scored for Tottenham and Bayern, and PSG, respectively. It is worth mentioning that another great goalscorer was left behind Ronaldo, as Erling Haaland stopped at number 50.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Everything takes on a greater dimension if you know that Ronaldo is the best in the world at the age of 38.

Additionally, he shot 130 times on goal and scored 53 times.🇵🇹 Cristiano Ronaldo’s 2023 stats for club and country:👕 58 appearances⚽ 53 goals🅰️ 15 assists🎯 3 free-kicks🎩 3 hat-tricks💯 100% penalty conversion🏆 Arab Champions Cup🥇 Arab Club Champions Cup Golden Boot⭐ 3x SPL Player of the Month@michealgeorge_2 pic.twitter.com/Mg6dX75T3N— GOAT 🐐 Football Journals (@michealgeorge_2) December 27, 2023 When all the goals are added up, since he first kicked the ball professionally, Cristiano has 872 goals.
