Cristiano Ronaldo's blistering form continues

After enduring a tough 2022 season, Cristiano Ronaldo has quickly bounced back from the brief debacle and returned to the phenomenal goal-scoring ways. The 5-time Balon d'Or winner ended the 2023 calendar year with the most goals in the circuit. He found the back of the net 54 times in 2023, and in the process superseded much younger goal-scoring machines like Harry Kane and Erling Haaland. In 2024, Ronaldo is expected to lead Portugal in the EURO 2024 tournament. Portugal's success would largely depend on Ronaldo and should he performs at the 2016 level then Portugal may once again emerge as the trophy contender.
