Could five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo win a sixth Ballon d’Or late in his career? After joining Al Nasr in January and moving to Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo was expected to quietly end his illustrious career away from the hustle and bustle of Europe.
But it would be remiss to think that Ronaldo will simply go silently into the night. After all, the Portugal legend’s career has been shaped by overcoming the odds and squashing doubters. That was when he was most comfortable, and even at 38 years old, he still maintained his true nature.
The Ballon d’Or is football’s most prestigious and coveted individual award, and Ronaldo is one of the greatest footballers of all time. Can he lift the prestigious Ballon d’Or trophy again before hanging up his boots?
Although this may sound exaggerated, it is not impossible. Let’s take a look at five reasons why Ronaldo can challenge for the 2024 Ballon d’Or.
Portugal have booked their spot at Euro 2024 and judging from their current form, they are expected to be this Teams defeated in the tournament.Portugal maintains a perfect record in Euro 2024 qualifying, winning all eight games so far
They also scored 32 goals while allowing just 2 goals. The Portuguese team is in great form in 2023 under new head coach Roberto Martinez. Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandez were their two best players in qualifying and are expected to play a big role for them in the final.
Ronaldo scored 9 goals and provided 1 assist in 7 European Cup qualifying games this year. He still wears scoring shoes and will lead Portugal in next year’s competition.
If Portugal wins Euro 2024, Ronaldo will win a major trophy and if his individual accolades match, he will be a strong contender for the Ballon d’Or.
This would be another major achievement that could give Ronaldo a huge boost in his Ballon d’Or competition next year. Judging from current form, it does seem possible that Ronaldo will top the goalscoring list at Euro 2024.
Portugal are one of the early favorites and are expected to make great progress in this tournament. Ronaldo winning the Golden Boot in such a major competition would make him a strong contender for the Ballon d’Or.
Cristiano Ronaldo is known as “Mr. Champions League” for his extraordinary achievements in Europe’s elite competition. The Portuguese talisman is the player with the most goals (140) and assists (42) in the tournament.
He is currently the top scorer of the Saudi Professional League season. With the arrival of a large number of top players this summer, the Saudi top flight is also the most star-studded and high-profile league in Asia. The professional league club is one of the strongest teams in the AFC Champions League this season.
If Ronaldo can keep scoring goals, he will be one of the favorites to be the top scorer in the AFC Champions League this season.
If Ronaldo, in addition to winning the Golden Boot, also performs well in the AFC Champions League, his chances of competing for the Golden Ball will further increase.
Ronaldo is one of the stars expected to make a major impact in the tournament. So don’t be surprised if the former Manchester United man tries and takes Al Nasr further in the competition.
If he can add the AFC Champions League trophy to his trophy collection this season, Ronaldo may even become a favorite for the Ballon d’Or.
Ronaldo’s performance in the second half of the 2022-23 season was not enough to propel Al Nasr to the Saudi Professional League title. They are second in the table, five points behind champions Etihad.
But having shaken off the disappointment of last season, Nasr has made a strong start to the new campaign. After nine league games, they are third in the table, four points adrift of the top spot, with Ronaldo currently the top scorer in the Saudi Professional League this season with 10 goals.
If he can keep up his goalscoring form and lead Al Nasr to the league title, he will have a chance to win a sixth Ballon d’Or.
