| Since the beginning of the year, Ronaldo (in yellow shirt) has scored 43 goals and 11 assists in 45 matches. |
In the third round of the AFC Champions League group stage, Al Nassr won a thrilling 4-3 victory over Al-Duhali. This result helped Saudi Arabian Club lead Group E with 9 points after 3 matches.
In Al Nassr's victory, Ronaldo continued to make his mark by contributing a double. This is an extremely impressive season for CR7.
In the Saudi Arabian national championship, the Portuguese striker leads the list of top scorers with 11 goals and top assists with 5 assists.
Since the beginning of 2023, the Portuguese superstar has scored 43 goals and 11 assists after 45 matches. That achievement helps Ronaldo become the player with the most goals in the calendar year 2023.
However, when asked about this, Ronaldo affirmed that he no longer cared about the record. Instead, he said he just wanted to enjoy football.
The superstar wearing the number 7 shirt said: "Honestly, I don't care about the record at this point. I just want to enjoy my time playing for Al Nassr. We strive to become the strongest team."
Afterwards, Ronaldo shared on social network X (old Twitter ): "Special night in Riyadh. Three wins and leading the group. Happy 68th birthday Al Nassr".
Ronaldo is not on the 2023 Ballon d'Or nomination list. This prestigious award is likely to belong to Lionel Messi. If he receives the Ballon d'Or, El Pulga will be crowned for the 8th time in this tournament, far surpassing CR7 (5 times).
In another development, during the match between Al Nassr vs Al-Duhali, Ronaldo met with FIFA President Infantino. The head of FIFA said about this meeting: "I am very happy to witness Al Nassr's match. It is a pride to meet the world's top players like Ronaldo or Sadio Mane here."
