Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nasr), who will turn 39 next year, has clambered to become the “world’s top scorer” in 2023.
Ronaldo led his team’s 4-1 victory by adding an additional goal in the second half of the extra time in the 19th round of the Saudi Super League in the 2023-2024 season against Alta One at King Abdulla Sports City Stadium in Buraida, Saudi Arabia, on the 31st (Korea time).
Ronaldo has now increased his scoring record (for his team and the national team) to 54 goals in 2023. He has 44 goals for Al-Nasr and 10 goals for the Portugal national team. He has become the world’s top scorer in 2023, beating out powerful Wolkle strikers such as Harry Kane (Bayern Munich, 52 goals), Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain, 52 goals), and the injured Erling Holan (Manchester City, 50 goals). Kane is 30, while Mbappe and Holan are 25 and 23, respectively.
It is the first time in six years that Ronaldo has scored more than 50 goals in the calendar year since he played for Real Madrid (53), and has scored the most goals since he scored 55 goals in seven years in 2016. Ronaldo has not reproduced his performance since he left for Juventus in 2018. For reference, Ronaldo only scored 17 goals in 2022 when he was in the 2nd Manchester United season. He showed off his skills by scoring more than three times as many goals in a year.
According to Portuguese media “Abola,” Ronaldo achieved unprecedented feat of becoming the world’s top scorer for the fifth time in history, following 2011 (60 goals), 2013 (69 goals), 2014 (61 goals) and 2015 (57 goals).
In addition, he set a milestone of 750th professional goal this year, 400 points since age 30, and 200 A-matches for the first time among male players. This year alone, he has achieved three hat tricks. 헤라카지노
It was possible because he had excellent self-management. Ronaldo showed off his muscular body as much as he did in his 20s through his personal social media on the 29th. Since the days of Manchester United in the early 2000s, he has been striving for self-management by controlling sleeping hours and diet to create the best physical condition for nearly 20 years. Ronaldo, who has always said he wants to play until the age of 40, is keeping his promise.
“It was a great year for me personally and for the team as well. I feel very good and happy. I will try (to become) the top scorer again next year,” Ronaldo said after the match. “I thank all my teammates. It was impossible without them and fans.”
Meanwhile, Alnasr won four consecutive league games thanks to Ronaldo’s goal in four consecutive games, scoring 46 points and maintaining a seven-point gap with the leader Al Hilal (53).
