In the just-concluded Saudi league, Ronaldo's Riyadh Victory won with a score of 5:2 over Jeddah United, which has superstars such as Benzema and Kante, and it is worth mentioning that Ronaldo scored twice in this game, bringing his goals to 53 in 2023 and successfully topping the 2023 scorer list.
However, although he topped the 2023 scorer list, Ronaldo has not yet secured the throne. At present, in the 2023 Global Goalscorer Gang, the first place is Cristiano Ronaldo with 53 goals, the second is tied with Kane and Mbappe with 52, and the third is Haaland with Manchester City, who has scored 50 goals. Fortunately, Kane's Bundesliga and Mbappe's Ligue 1 have entered the winter break early because of Christmas, so the two have been unable to compete with Ronaldo.
So Ronaldo's rival is only Haaland, who plays in the Premier League. The Premier League, which is committed to commercial development, has long given up the tradition of the Western Christmas holiday, Manchester City in 2023, there are still two games, namely away against Everton and at home to Sheffield, the strength of the two teams is not small from Manchester City, if Haaland really has the heart to compete for the top spot, I am afraid that with Manchester City's terrifying offensive ability, there is still a chance for him to catch up with Ronaldo in two games.
Of course, the Saudi league where Ronaldo currently plays, there is no Christmas holiday, Riyadh Victory in 2023, and there is a game against Brande, but this opponent is not a fish belly team, they are currently ranked fourth in Saudi Arabia, and the core of the team is Moussa who played in Bologna in Serie A last season. Barrow, although he doesn't want Leyard Crescent, Leyard Victory, Jeddah United, and Jeddah National to have a luxury lineup, but the team's combat effectiveness is not bad, and Ronaldo wants to rely on this game to greatly improve the goal statistics, I am afraid it will not be easy.
However, there is also good news for fans who care about Ronaldo, according to the Manchester Evening News, Haaland may not play in the remaining two Premier League games. In the previous Club World Cup Manchester City 4:0 victory over Fluminense in the final, Haaland did not play, in this season, Haaland because of injury problems, has been suspended for many games, although there have been recent rumors of a comeback, but for the many soldiers of Manchester City, it is obvious that he will not risk forcing him to play, so it is more prudent to let Haaland rest again, and then play for Manchester City when his body is completely healed.
In any case, for Ronaldo, who is 38 years old this year, at such an advanced age, he still has the ability to compete for the global goalscorer king, worthy of the title of a football monument and an idol of young players.
