Saudi Pro League top scorers 2022-2023: Cristiano Ronaldo ranking in Golden Boot race appeared on www.sportingnews.com by Feargal Brennan.
Cristiano Ronaldo will be looking to win as many trophies as possible in his debut season at Al Nassr in 2023, including the individual Golden Boot award.
The Portuguese star (8 goals) has hit the ground running in Riyadh, as he aims to spearhead his side in the Saudi Arabian title race, but he faces a challenge to finish as the league’s top scorer with 10 league matches remaining in the 2022/23 season.
Ronaldo’s Al Nassr teammate Talisca is the current frontrunner after two thirds of the campaign, with 13 league goals scored, followed by Carlos Junior (Al Shabab) and Abderrazak Hamdallah (Al Ittihad), who are on 12 each.
Last season’s Golden Boot winner, Odion Ighalo of Al Hilal (11 goals) moved two goals closer after netting half of his team’s haul in a 4-0 blanking of Al Taawoun.
