Cristiano Ronaldo wins Maradona Award for Best Goalscorer after topping global charts in 2023 with 54 efforts for Al-Nassr & Portugal
Cristiano Ronaldo can now add the Maradona Award for Best Goalscorer to his extensive trophy collection. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, at 38 years old, continues to showcase his goal-scoring prowess, having netted 54 goals in 2023 for Al-Nassr and Portugal. This impressive tally surpasses notable players like Kylian Mbappe (52 goals), Harry Kane (52), and Erling Haaland (50).
Ronaldo’s outstanding achievements will be acknowledged at the Dubai Globe Soccer Awards 2023, where he is not only set to receive the leading scorer prize but is also a contender for Best Men’s Player, Best Middle East Player, and Fans’ Favorite Player. The ceremony, scheduled for January 19 at Atlantis, The Palm, promises to be a memorable night for CR7.
As the football icon enjoys a well-deserved break, he will return to action on February 1, when Al-Nassr faces Inter Miami and Lionel Messi in an eagerly-awaited friendly match at the Riyadh Cup. Additionally, Ronaldo’s potential for more accolades will be decided by a distinguished panel, including Francesco Totti, Iker Casillas, Luis Figo, and Marcello Lippi, who constitute Globe Soccer’s official jury.
