During the 14th day of the Saudi Championship, Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace with his Al-Nasr team, against Karim Benzema's Al-Ittihad team.
What about the goals of the Arab Cup for the champion clubs?
Two goals allow him to take his total to 53 in the calendar year 2023, thus making him the top scorer of the year ahead of Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) and Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain).
But the total must be taken into account, because it includes the six goals scored by “CR7” during the Arab Champion Clubs Cup. It is an unofficial competition as it is not recognized by FIFA. By removing these six goals from his total, the Portuguese will fall behind the duo formed by the Englishman and the Frenchman.
In any case, the former Real Madrid, Manchester United and Juventus player continues to have a good time in Saudi Arabia.
