Why couldn’t Ronaldo win the Golden Boot even though he just set an unprecedented scoring record?

On the morning of May 28, superstar Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice to help Al Nassr overcome Al Ittihad with a score of 4-2. The last two goals also helped CR7 set two unbelievable records at the same time. First, Ronaldo became the player who scored the most goals in a season in the Saudia Arabia National Championship (35 goals). Next, Ronaldo is also the first person in history to win the title of top scorer in 4 different national championships (England, Spain, Italy and Saudi Arabia).

Witnessing Ronaldo’s great achievements, some fans wondered why CR7 did not award the 2024 Golden Shoe title. In the past, Ronaldo won the Golden Shoe four times and once affirmed that he liked this title more than the Ball. Yellow.

However, according to current regulations, it is impossible for Ronaldo to win the Golden Shoe this season. Accordingly, the Golden Boot is an award given to the player who scores the most goals of the season in the highest division of the European national championship.

The Golden Shoe is only for players playing in Europe

Thus, having moved to Asia to play for Al Nassr, Ronaldo is not eligible to compete for this title. This year, Harry Kane pocketed the Golden Boot after scoring 36 goals in the Bundesliga.

For Ronaldo personally, the season with Al Nassr is not over yet. On May 31, the whole team will enter the King Cup final against Al Hilal. After this confrontation, CR7 did not go on summer vacation but returned home to gather troops to prepare for Euro 2024.
