Ronaldo's 50th Goal of 2023: A Potential Clash with Messi
Cristiano Ronaldo added to his impressive tally by scoring his 50th goal of the year in a thrilling game against Al-Shabaab. His powerful shot from outside the box sealed a 4-2 victory for his team, Al Nasr, and signaled his intention to continue his torrid scoring streak.

Inter Miami, Messi's current club, is set to play a friendly match against Al Nasr in Saudi Arabia next year, which could potentially mark the 36th meeting between the two footballing behemoths in their respective careers.
Xavier Asensi, Chief Commercial Officer of Inter Miami, expressed his excitement about this potential encounter, stating, "This represents an important opportunity to build lasting relationships with our passionate fans in Saudi Arabia."
