Joao Mario, Ricardo Horta, Paulinho… Get to know the top 10 Portuguese scorers of 2023.
2023 is coming to an end, and it's time to take stock of the Portuguese players. This year, ten of them managed to score enough goals to appear in the ranking which only takes into account matches played in clubs (Championships, National Cups and European Cups). For the sake of sporting fairness, neither Cristiano Ronaldo's performance nor the performance of a player who does not play in one of the top 10 leagues in the world will be counted.
La Liga Portugal is well represented
By scoring 20 goals in Benfica colors, Joao Mario is the one who dominates the standings this year, ahead of Ricardo Horta, who scored 18 goals. Paulinho and Pedro Gonçalves, who play for Sporting Lisbon, complete the podium, ahead of two Premier League players also tied. In total, this ranking is dominated by seven players who are playing or have played in the Portuguese League in 2023.
