Cristiano Ronaldo has finally reunited with his former Real Madrid teammate Karim Benzema. His Al-Ittihad versus Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr. The Portuguese star had an impressive evening with a double goal from the penalty spot to help Al-Nassr win. Just when the match seemed most balanced, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal that filled his teammates with confidence, sealing a 5-2 final victory over Benzema’s team.

Karim failed to score a single goal and he even fouled a penalty kick, one of two taken by Ronaldo. The French striker kicked the Al-Nassr player in the penalty area and took the first of two penalties for CR7 to score. Brazilian Fabinho made another mistake to give Al-Nassr and Cristiano Ronaldo a double when there still seemed to be no clear winner. After that, everything went haywire and Al-Nassr was able to score two more goals from Sadio Mane.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored the 52nd and 53rd goals of the current year, with only 5 days left on the calendar. The race to see who scores the most goals is quite contested between four players. In addition to Ronaldo, we also have Kylian Mbappé, Harry Kane and Erling Haaland scoring 50 goals or more this season. The PSG star has no more matches to play in 2023, so he ended the year with 52 goals. Harry Kane also no longer has a chance as Bayern Munich has many more matches left in 2023. He also finished with 52 matches.

This leaves only Haaland and Ronaldo, Erling still has 2 matches to play for Manchester City. One is in Wednesday’s Boxing Day match against Everton at Goodison Park. The second match will be at home against Sheffield United. Haaland will need three goals to match Cristiano. But the Portuguese star has one more match to play in 2023. Al-Nassr visits Al-Taawoun in the Saudi Pro League. We still have much to enjoy with this special match between two of the world’s greatest strikers.
