Cristiano Ronaldo has surged to the top of the goal-scoring charts for 2023, positioning himself as the year's leading goal-scorer.
The Al Nassr forward's latest stellar performance included a decisive brace in a 5-2 victory against Al Ittihad on Tuesday.

At 38 years old, Ronaldo showcased his enduring prowess by converting two crucial penalties in the triumph, elevating his tally to an impressive 53 goals and 15 assists in just 58 matches.
This achievement surpassed the 52 goals notched by Harry Kane (57 matches) and Kylian Mbappe (53 matches) with Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, respectively.
Remarkably, both Kane and Mbappe are now unable to reclaim the top spot, as their clubs are set to resume official competitions only in 2024.
The only potential contender, Erling Haaland, has accumulated 50 goals in 60 matches for Manchester City.
However, injuries have kept him out of the Club World Cup, and he may not be available for the Saturday game against Sheffield United.
