Al-Nassr striker Cristiano Ronaldo has been named Globe Soccer’s 2023 Fans’ Favorite Player, ahead of Lionel Messi and Mohamed Salah.

In addition to the Portuguese striker, Messi, Salah, Jude Bellingham and Neymar Jr are other candidates for this award. In 2022, Salah was awarded Globe Soccer’s TikTok Fans Player of the Year.

Cristiano Ronaldo was quite successful at the Globe Soccer Awards. The Portuguese striker has been named Globe Soccer’s Best Male Player on six different occasions. He has also received many awards in the fields of goodwill and media attraction.

Ronaldo won Globe Soccer’s 2023 Maradona Award for best goalscorer. Erling Haaland was awarded the title of Globe Soccer’s Best Male Player in 2023. Ronaldo’s former Real Madrid teammate Casemiro was honored with the 2023 Globe Soccer Player’s Career Award.

The Portuguese striker ends 2023 as top scorer with 54 goals, surpassing Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappé, who each scored 52 goals. This season, Ronaldo has made 25 appearances in many different arenas for Al-Nassr, where he scored 24 goals and 11 assists.

Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to miss Al-Nassr’s upcoming friendly against Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami.

According to a recent report by Saudi daily Al-Riyadiya, the former Real Madrid striker has suffered a calf injury, which could keep him out of action for nearly two weeks for treatment and recovery.

As revealed in the report, Ronaldo also visited the club’s medical clinic in the past two days, which could be a topic of interest to the team as well as his fans. Al-Nassr played its last match against Al-Taawon on December 30 last year.

Before facing Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami on February 1, Al-Nassr will play friendlies with Shanghai Shenhua (January 24) and Zhejiang (January 28).
