After scoring in Al-Nassr’s victory over Al-Shabab, Cristiano Ronaldo sent a rebellious message, saying, “Still room for more.” This score brought his goal total for 2023 to an astounding fifty.

In Monday’s King Cup victory over Al-Shabab, Cristiano Ronaldo netted his 50th goal of 2023 and later took to Instagram to celebrate the occasion.

After a nice one-two with fellow Portugal international Otavio, the 38-year-old scored a low shot from 10 yards out in the 74th minute. It made it 4-1 for Al Nassr, following goals by Sadio Mane, Abdulrahman Ghareeb, and Seko Fofana. Ronaldo was substituted off in the 82nd minute to a standing ovation after scoring his 50th goal of the season. His side went on to win 5-2.

With the unfaltering support of my teammates, friends, and family, I am happy to announce my 50th goal in 2023, and I am elated to share this great triumph with you all!” We can fit a couple more this year.

With the victory, Al-Nassr advanced to the King’s Cup semi-finals for the second year in a row. After losing in the semifinals to Al-Wehda last term, they will be aiming for even greater success this season. With 40 goals for the Saudi Pro League team and 10 for Portugal, Ronaldo has a total of fifty for the season.

In terms of goals scored in a calendar year, the legendary Portuguese player is now second only to his long-time adversary Lionel Messi, who has achieved the record nine times throughout his career.

Starting with a match against Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League on Friday, December 22, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner will be in action a minimum of three times until the end of 2023.
