IFFHS Men’s World Best Global Goal Scorer 2023: Cristiano Ronaldo
A dramatic culmination determined the winner of the IFFHS Men’s Best Global Goal Scorer 2023 award. With just few days before the year end, Cristiano Ronaldo took over the lead and finished on top with 54 goals.
Mbappé, the 2022 winner, got now the 2nd place in the final ranking due to the tie-breakers. With the same number (13) of international goals between him and Kane as well, Mbappé is ranked higher thanks to larger number of goals for the national team (10 against Kane’s 9).
Erling Haaland, who led the race with a month to go, missed almost the entire Manchester City program in December due to injury and was left out of the podium as a result.
Back to Cristiano Ronaldo, this is already his 9th IFFHS annual award. He previously won in 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019 (World's Best International Goal Scorer) and in 2014, 2015, 2020 (World's Best Top Division Goal scorer).
His current victory is the most amazing, because Cristiano Ronaldo managed to beat all other prolific goal-scorers at the age of 38!
