Top 5 goalscorers in 2023, Haaland tops with 37 goals! The 38-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo is tied for second place with only one goal

Earlier, ESPN counted the total number of goals scored by players in clubs and national teams in 2023 and listed the top 5 lists, with Haaland in first place with 37 goals.

Haaland's arrival in the Premier League is "debut is the peak", and in his first season, he scored 52 goals in all competitions for Manchester City, including 36 goals in 35 league games, breaking the Premier League single-season league goal record. In the new season, Haaland's goal pace has not slowed down, with 8 goals in 7 league games, but the goal rate in the cup is slightly lower, 1 goal in 4 games. After the Mero era, Haaland was one of the most capable centers. Being on a platform like Manchester City is also good for him to storm the Ballon d'Or, but before that he needs to prove his abilities more in key matches.

In second place, there are three players, namely Hungary's Varga, Argentina's Kano and Ronaldo. The 28-year-old is a late bloomer, playing for Bokes in the Hungarian league last season, scoring 25 goals in 31 games and joining Hungarian League giants Ferencváros this season, where he continues to score 16 goals in 15 games.

Argentine veteran Carnot, 35, scored 36 goals in 50 games for Fluminense in 23 years.

The 38-year-old veteran Cristiano Ronaldo dropped his contract with Manchester United midway through last season before landing in the Saudi League to join Riyadh Victory. So far, he has scored 31 goals in 35 games for Riyadh Victory, plus three goals during his time at Manchester United, bringing him 36 goals in 23 years. Of course, the Saudi league is still continuing, and it is not difficult for Cristiano Ronaldo's current form to break through 40 or even 50 goals in the end.

Mbappe is tied for fifth place with Kane and has scored 33 goals each. The transfer turmoil in the summer window has not affected Mbappe's form, and he has scored eight goals in eight games so far in the new season, which is very efficient.

Paris released Messi and Neymar in the summer window this year, and Mbappe became the only supergiant in Paris as he wished. But in the second round of the Champions League group stage against Newcastle, Mbappe's attitude to the game was questioned. When the team was behind, Mbappe did not play the role of leader, but rather reacted passively. This is a far cry from the Mbappe who spoke in the dressing room at the World Cup and led the team to fight back after falling behind Argentina.

Kane left Tottenham Hotspur this summer to join Bayern with one goal – to compete for the title. Superstars are superstars, Kane has seamlessly integrated since landing in the Bundesliga, scoring 9 goals and 4 assists in 9 games, fully demonstrating his ability, and Bayern have finally filled the vacancy after Lewandowski's departure. If Bayern can lead to more trophies, even the Champions League, Kane has every chance of competing for the Ballon d'Or.
