Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Cristiano Ronaldo, who turns 39 in a month, has once again proved that age is just a number, as he has now scored more goals in a year than Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Holland.
After a disastrous 2022, when Ronaldo scored only 16 goals due to problems at Manchester United and sitting on the bench in some games, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner made a stunning comeback. What he is known for is persistence and getting back to the top. He went all the way with the same perseverance as usual to become the best scorer of 2023.
Last night, in the 18th week of the Saudi Super League, Al-Nasr was a guest of Ittihad. At the end of the game, Al-Nasr won 5-2 and Cristiano Ronaldo, the star of Al-Nasr, managed to score two of his team's five goals in the 19th and 68th minutes.
A double and a high-scoring victory were not the only achievements of Ronaldo in tonight's game. With these two goals, he managed to reach the top of the list of the best scorers in 2023.

The best scorers in 2023
Cristiano Ronaldo: 53 goals
Harry Kane: 52 goals
Kylian Mbappe: 52 goals

Mbappe and Kane have played their last games in 2023, while Ronaldo will play his last game of the year on December 30 against Al Taawon and has the chance to extend his record.
On the other hand, Manchester City will play two games until the end of the year, but Erling Holland's presence in these two games is uncertain due to injury, and it can be said that Ronaldo's top scorer in the list of the best scorers of the year is almost certain.
