Cristiano Ronaldo’s remarkable 2023 goalscoring record sparks fan reactions

Cristiano Ronaldo's career in 2023 has undergone a remarkable resurgence after a tumultuous 2022 with his former club, Manchester United.

The 38-year-old Portuguese football icon had been considered a burden at the Premier League outfit, often finding himself excluded from crucial matches under the management of Erik ten Haag.

Following the conclusion of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Ronaldo made a surprising move to a club in the Middle East, as reported by Goal.

Since joining the Riyadh-based team, he has enjoyed an extraordinary start to his spell, causing an outpouring of reactions and excitement among fans.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Ronaldo's performance has been his astonishing goal-scoring record, which has captivated fans and pundits alike.
