On the morning of December 21, a number of tournaments in Germany and France ended their 2023 matches to enter the winter break. The two stars Mbappe and Harry Kane continue to show impressive scoring ability.

Kylian Mbappe scored twice in PSG’s 3-1 win over Metz while Kane scored 1 goal in Bayern’s defeat of Wolfsburg. With these goals, Kane and Mbappe have temporarily risen to the top of the list of top scorers in the world in the 2023 calendar year with 52 goals each. 

However, these two leading positions of Kane and Mbappe are in danger of not being able to keep it when the duo has closed their matches for the year. Meanwhile, the players right behind, Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland (50 goals each), all have matches ahead in the last 10 days of the year. 

Specifically, Al Nassr has 3 matches left against Al Ittifaq (December 22), Al Ittihad (December 27) and Al Taawon (December 31). Meanwhile, Man City also has 3 matches left in 2023 against Fluminese (December 22), Everton (December 27) and Sheffield United (December 30). 

However, CR7’s chance of scoring more goals will be higher than Haaland’s because the Norwegian player is injured and his ability to play next time is still open. 

Therefore, the person who has the greatest chance to become the world’s top scorer in the 2023 calendar year is Cristiano Ronaldo.
