The Al Nassr captain fired Al Nassr pass Al Ittihad away from home with a brace. He scored two goals from the spot to contribute to Al Nassr's 5-2 win over Al Ittihad. Talisca also found the back of the net for the away side with former Liverpool and Bayern Munich forward Sadio Mane bagging a brace.
Cristiano Ronaldo overtakes Harry Kane to emerge as Saudi Pro League topscorer
Apart from his heroics on the domestic scene for Al Nassr, Ronaldo is still a global top star to be reckoned with. He went into the game against Al Nassr trailing Bayern Munich and former Tottenham forward Harry Kane on 2023 topscorers' chart.
Harry Kane was top of the chart with 52 goals, a goal better than the Portuguese, who had 51 goals. French and PSG star Kylian Mbappe was joint-topscorer on the chart with Kane with 52 goals while Manchester City's Erling Haaland completed the top four with 50 goals.
Now, Cristiano Ronaldo is top of the chart with 53 goals after his brace against Al Ittihad, a goal better than Kane and Mbappe, and 3 goals better than Erling Haaland.
Cristiano Ronaldo to end 2023 as the best striker in the world
Cristiano Ronaldo is 38 but is still flushed with success on his career with Al Nassr. Ronaldo is set to end 2023 as the best striker in the world with his incredible goal tally in the year.
The Saudi Pro League is still bubbling with league action despite the Christmas break that has grinded footballing action to a halt in some Europe's top leagues.
Kane would have likely had the chance to challenge Ronaldo for the top spot on the goalscorers' chart in 2023 but the Bundesliga is on break.
French Ligue 1 are also on Christmas break hence Kylian Mbappe is also ruled out of the race.
Erling Haaland is on the sidelines at Manchester City as well.
With his closest competitors out of action with their clubs, Cristiano Ronaldo is more likely to end 2023 as the prolific goalscorer. Such feat will be another big milestone for the five-times Ballon d'Or winner at 38.
