The Portuguese forward is still on fire as he scored goal No. 53 of 2023, the highest scorer of the year. Benzema provoked a penalty

Cristiano Ronaldo finally reunited with fellow Real Madrid former teammate, Karim Benzema. His Al-Ittihad vs Ronaldo's Al-Nassr. The Portuguese star had a tremendous evening with a brace scored from the spot that helped Al-Nassr get the victory. Just as the game seemed the most levelled, Cristiano Ronaldo scored the goal that filled his teammates with confidence for the final 5-2 victory over Benzema's team.

Karim wasn't able to score a single goal and he even commited a penalty, one of the two scored by Ronaldo. The French striker kicked an Al-Nassr player inside the box and provoked the first of two penalties for CR7 to score. Brazilian Fabinho made another mistake that helped Al-Nassr and Cristiano Ronaldo get his brace just as there seemed no clear winner yet. After that, everything got distorted and Al-Nassr was able to score two more goals from Sadio Mane.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored goals 52 and 53 of the currentyear, which has only five days left in the calendar. The race to know who scored the most goals has been quite disputed between four players. Aside from Ronaldo, we had Kylian Mbappe, Harry Kane, and Erling Haaland scoring 50 or more goals this season. The PSG star no longer has games left to play in 2023, so he ended his year with 52 goals. Harry Kane also has no more chances as Bayern Munich has mo more games left in 2023. He finished with 52 as well.

Cristiano Ronaldo scores two goals on penalty for Al Nassr and makes it 53 goals in 2023 calendar year.
