Stands shoulder to shoulder with Kane... Holland scores 49 goals against Liverpool
Soccer media outlet 'Score90' said on its official SNS on the 25th (Korean time), "38-year-old Ronaldo has returned to the top scorer in club and international competitions in 2023. With 8 games left, how many goals will he score by the end of the year?" It highlighted Ronaldo's scoring record with the article.
Ronaldo has scored 48 goals for his club and national team, putting him in joint top spot with Harry Kane and Erling Haaland. Kylian Mbappe (46 goals) and Baranavas Varga (39 goals) followed. However, after Holland succeeded in scoring against Liverpool, Holland (49 goals) took first place, while Ronaldo and Kane (48 goals) fell to second place.
Ronaldo has received a lot of attention since his childhood. Manager Alex Ferguson recognized Ronaldo's talent and brought him to Manchester United. Ronaldo became the world's best player at Manchester United. He had moments of glory, including being the top scorer in the Premier League (PL), winning the UEFA Champions League (UCL), and winning the Ballon d'Or. Afterwards, he moved to Real Madrid and became a perfect rival to Lionel Messi.
At Real, he made a name for himself as the man of UCL. By winning the UCL championship in the 2013-14 season, he gave Real their 10th UCL title. At that time, Ronaldo scored 17 goals and became the top scorer of the tournament. Starting from the 2015-16 season, they set a record of 3 consecutive UCL wins. Ronaldo, who achieved a lot at Real Madrid, returned to Manchester United after playing at Juventus.
The first season was good. As a veteran, he focused the team and scored many goals. Ronaldo scored 18 goals and ranked third in PL scoring in the 2021-22 season. Afterwards, when manager Eric ten Haag took over at Manchester United, his position narrowed. Eventually, he left the team after a disagreement with coach Ten Haag.
Ronaldo's destination was Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia's Al Nasr signed Ronaldo for an astronomical amount of money. This was the signal for Ronaldo to be recruited by Saudi Arabia. This summer, Saudi Arabia swept up players who were at their peak in Europe based on oil money. Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kante, and Riyad Mahrez also moved to Saudi Arabia.
Although Ronaldo is playing in Saudi Arabia, not Europe, he has been consistently selected for the Portugal national team. Ronaldo also scored many goals in the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers. This season, Al Nasr is leading the league in scoring with 15 goals in 13 games. Ronaldo scored multiple goals in the match against Al Okhudd on the 25th, bringing his tally to 48 goals this year.
Kane and Holland are also showing tremendous scoring ability. Kane left Tottenham Hotspur this summer and joined Bayern Munich. Kane also proved his skills in Munich with his excellent scoring ability. Kane is the league's leading scorer with 18 goals in 12 games. Haaland is also the PL scoring leader. Haaland was the top scorer in the PL last season with 36 goals, and is a strong candidate to be the top scorer this season as well. Holland scored one goal against Liverpool, reaching 49 goals in 2023.
