On Boxing Day, Ronaldo took his goals tally for the calendar year to 53 by scoring a brace in Al-Nassr's 5-2 defeat of Al-Ittihad.

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has scored 50 goals for club and country this year, and with City set to play Everton on Wednesday evening, he is the only player who can catch Ronaldo. The Norwegian has missed City's last seven games with a foot injury, but if he returns and sores a hat-trick at Goodison Park then he will share the title with Ronaldo.

Haaland is doubtful to feature for City on Wednesday, but if he does then Ronaldo will be anxiously waiting to see if he clings on to his lead. The Portuguese star will have one more chance to add to his tally when Al-Nassr take on Al-Taawoun on Saturday.
