Cristiano Ronaldo is set to end the year as the top scorer in world football for 2023 after netting a brace in Al-Nassr's 4-1 win over Al-Taawoun on Saturday.
The forward has enjoyed a successful spell in Saudi Arabia after joining the league from Manchester United in January, helping his side maintain another title push against Al-Hilal.
His two strikes against Al-Taawoun took him to 54 goals for the year, including international football, with only a handful of teams left to play before the calendar year is up.
Ronaldo was trailing both Kylian Mbappe and Harry Kane prior to Boxing Day, with both Ligue 1, where Mbappe plays, and the Bundesliga, where Kane plays, in the middle of a winter break, so not currently playing.
