Even at the age of 38, it seems that Cristiano Ronaldo knows no limit when it comes to reaching milestones on the football pitch as the star footballer is set to finish 2023 as the year’s top goal scorer.
Manchester City’s Erling Haaland was the only one who could’ve surpassed the Portuguese star, however, due to being ruled out for the English club’s next match, it seems that Ronaldo is likely to remain unbeaten after netting 53 goals in the outgoing year — more than any other player.
Ronaldo is trailed by Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe who have scored 52 goals each, whereas Haaland’s tally stands at 50 goals in 2023.
Mbappe, Haaland and Kane have no more matches scheduled in the year while the Al Nassr star will play against Al Taawoun on December 30.
However, since Ronaldo is guaranteed to finish the year with the most goals, he is likely to rest for the upcoming match.
