Ronaldo's strike took him two clear of Bayern Munich and England's Harry Kane as well as PSG and France's Kylian Mbappe (both scored 52). Speaking after the match, the Portuguese icon then set himself the target of being at the top of the pile again next year.

WHAT HAPPENED?

In an interview with Saudi outlet <a href="https://twitter.com/ssc_sports/status/1741196197895774579" target="_blank">SSC Sports</a>, Ronaldo said: "I'm very happy, it was a good year for me as an individual and as a collective. I scored so many goals, I helped the team a lot at Al-Nassr and for the national team. I feel good, I feel happy and next year I will try to do it again."

WHAT RONALDO SAID

Ronaldo has scored goals wherever he has played and has continued in the same fashion since<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/cristiano-ronaldo-joins-al-nassr-former-man-utd-forward-75m-year-deal-saudi-arabian-side/blt10746de6fbb97914" target="_blank"> joining Al-Nassr</a> last December. Despite <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/cristiano-ronaldo-slams-man-utd-boss-erik-ten-hag-sensational-interview/blt1c7c7a8be17bff83" target="_blank">being axed by Erik ten Hag</a> at Manchester United, the 38-year-old's goalscoring instincts have not deserted him and he has continued to rack up goal after goal in Saudi Arabia, as well as for the Portugal national team.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Ronaldo and Al-Nassr return to action against their domestic rivals, Al-Feiha, in the Asian Champions League on February 12, as the continent breaks for the 2023 Asian Cup. Ronaldo will be hoping to propel his side to their first title in the tournament and add yet another trophy to his vast collection.
