Ronaldo, the crazy figures from his 2023 results

For his last outing of the year 2023, Saturday evening in the Saudi Pro League, Cristiano Ronaldo did not fail to score…

One last flamboyant one. On this Saturday, December 30, the penultimate day of the year, Cristiano Ronaldo struck. Against Al-Taawon, Al-Nassr won (1-4), with achievements from Brozovic (26e), Laporte (35e), Otavio (50e) and… Ronaldo. A final goal came, like a symbol, in added time, on a cross from former Lens player Seko Fofana (90e+2).

At 38 years old (he will celebrate his 39th birthday on February 5), CR7 registered his 54 theree goal of the year 2023. Two more than Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappé – four more than Erling Haaland. No one has done better or as well, therefore, among the football stars. The Portuguese having planted every 96 minutes on average with his 44 Saudi achievements and 10 Lusitanian banderillas.

Better than expected goals

In detail with Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 34 times in the Saudi Pro League, once in the King Cup, three times in the Asian Champions League and six times in the Arab Champion Clubs’ Cup. The performance is all the more impressive as the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, in his 59 matches played in 2023, shot on average 5.24 times at the opponent’s goal, for 49.45 expected goals in total. CR7 therefore did better than statistical projections. Bluffing.
