In Al Nassr's victory, C. Ronaldo continued to make his mark by contributing a double. This is an extremely impressive season for CR7. In the Saudi Arabian national championship, the Portuguese striker leads the list of top scorers with 11 goals and the list of assists with 5 assists.
Since the beginning of 2023, the Portuguese superstar has scored 43 goals and 11 assists after 45 matches. That achievement helps C.Ronaldo become the player who scored the most goals in the calendar year 2023.
However, when asked about this, C. Ronaldo affirmed that he was no longer interested in the record. Instead, he said he just wanted to enjoy football.
The No. 7 superstar said: "Honestly, I don't care about the record at this point. I just want to enjoy my time playing for Al Nassr. We strive to become the strongest team."

Afterwards, C. Ronaldo shared on social network X (old Twitter): "Special night in Riyadh. Three wins and leading the table. Happy 68th birthday Al Nassr".
C. Ronaldo is not on the list of nominees for the 2023 Golden Ball. This prestigious award is likely to belong to Lionel Messi. If he receives the Golden Ball, El Pulga will be crowned for the 8th time in this tournament, far surpassing CR7 (5 times).
In another development, in the match between Al Nassr vs Al-Duhali, C. Ronaldo met with FIFA President Infantino. The head of FIFA said about this meeting: "I am very happy to witness Al Nassr's match. It is a pride to meet the world's top players like C. Ronaldo or Sadio Mane here".
