Based on World Cup odds, oddsmakers price Cristiano Ronaldo as the favorite to finish as Portugal’s top scorer.

Ronaldo failed to emerge as Portugal’s leading scorer during the 2022 World Cup. Teammate Goncalo Ramos led all Portuguese players with three tallies over five matches.

In fact, Ronaldo failed to crack the top three Portuguese goal scorers in 2022. Rafael Leao and Bruno Fernandes scored two apiece as Ronaldo scored only once.

It followed a 2018 World Cup where he scored four goals, good for the team lead.
