On the morning of May 28, the 2023/2024 Saudi Arabia National Championship season ended with the final round (round 34). Before this round, the championship definitely belonged to Al Hilal, the positions for the Asian Cup were also determined for Al Hilal, Al Nassr and Al Ahli.
Therefore, the majority of audiences around the world will pay attention to the tournament’s top scorer race when superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has a great chance to win this individual title.
Despite creating a gap of 6 goals compared to Aleksandar Mitrovic, Ronaldo is still very determined in the match between Al Nassr and Al Ittihad. CR7 continuously tries to finish in the hope of scoring more goals.
At home, the defending runner-up team poured 4 goals into the opponent’s net, in which Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice. The remaining 2 goals belonged to Abdulrahman Ghareeb and Al Nemer respectively.
The left-footed shot against Al Ittihad in the 45+3 minute and the header that beat the goalkeeper in the 69th minute helped Ronaldo go down in history as the greatest goalscorer in the Saudi Pro League. With 35 goals, CR7 broke the record of Moroccan striker Abderrazak Hamdallah (34 goals) in the 2018/19 season.
In addition, CR7 also created another record, becoming the first player in history to win top scorer in 4 different national championships (England, Spain, Italy and Saudi Arabia).
Winning the Premier League Golden Boot with Man United in 2008, the Portuguese striker was then La Liga’s top scorer three times before becoming the top scorer in Serie A in the 2020/21 season.
The only top league where Ronaldo did not achieve top scorer status was the Portuguese National Championship, where Ronaldo scored 3 goals in 25 matches as a teenager for Sporting Lisbon in the 2002/03 season.
Since turning 39, Ronaldo has achieved impressive scoring performance with 20 goals and 2 assists in just 20 appearances. The former MU star scored 50 goals for Al Nassr this season.
With this form, CR7 will almost certainly be given the opportunity by coach Roberto Martinez to lead the Portuguese attack at the EURO 2024 finals. He also hopes to lead the Portuguese national team to glory at Euro 2024, which will take place. out next June.
In front of Ronaldo and his teammates will be the King’s Cup final against Al Hilal on June 1. This is an opportunity for CR7 to win the first official title in the Middle East. “Hopefully the match will be fair,” the 39-year-old striker said.
