    I think Ronaldo’s the only European player in Saudi Arabia who’s taking the job seriously. Man does not see it as a retirement league.

      Ronaldo is the type of person that won’t let even his kids win a game vs him, you can say a lot of things about him but that he isn’t competitive it’s not one of them.

      Which is crazy if you think about it. The man has seen it all and done it all.

      He has no reason to push himself this hard, he’s 38, doesn’t have to prove anything to anyone.

      I get the love of the game argument, it’s his job and everything but still.

    CR7 thumping minnows with his national side and playing in a league probably weaker than the English second division makes it really funny him being on that list.

    Its like some professional boxer defeated Jake Paul, KSI and 3 more youtubers 5 times total and bragged about his 5-0 undefeated record.

      3 of those have been in the premier League top scorers in the last 2 years and the 4th hasn’t even played in the premier League.

    Kinda crazy to think that some of us have seen the likes of Henry, Bergkamp, Van Nistelrooy, Van Persie, Alan Shearer… but these guys are just on another planet stats-wise.

      Probably cuz of the change of tactics, it’s more easy to see higher-scoring players nowadays who aren’t just poachers

      There’s a reason people usually limit this to top 5 leagues. There’s also a guy in the Hungarian league who scored 43 goals so far in 2023, but I wouldn’t put him on a list like this despite the Hungarian league probably being better than the Saudi.

    Tbf if some unknown player scored 50 goals in that Saudi league none would give a feck and his name won’t be even in the discussion.

      Barnabas Varga has scored 43 in the Hungarian league. Wonder if he’d be included if he had scored 3 more goals.

      That’s a rhetorical question. Of course he wouldn’t.
