The all-time top scorers in the Champions League

Every year, football fans look forward to the Champions League, where the best teams in Europe compete to become the kings of the continent. Many great strikers have graced the competition over the years, and here’s a rundown of the greatest of them all.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Perhaps not surprisingly, one of the best players the world has ever seen is the top all-time scorer in the Champions League. We are talking about Cristiano Ronaldo, who has scored 134 goals in the competition. The Portuguese star has played for several top teams over the years and has been instrumental in their success in the competition.

Lionel Messi

Next on our list of all-time top scorers in the Champions League is Lionel Messi. Indeed, this is another player that you would expect to be included and he is the second top scorer of all time. The Argentine, who has so far dedicated his entire career to Barcelona, has scored 120 goals in Europe’s elite competition.

Robert Lewandowski

Robert Lewandoswki has recently moved up the list for the top Champions League scorers. Ahead of the legendary Raul by just two goals, he has a record of scoring 73 goals in this competition across stints at Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. When you are betting on Lewandowaki or any other striker in the Champions League, it is always best to do your research first.

Raul

Then we have Raul in fourth place, who scored 71 goals in total in the Champions League during his time at Real Madrid, and to a lesser extent, Schalke. Now retired, Raul was a dangerous striker who possessed the ability to score from almost anywhere and was once top of the list before Ronaldo and Messi came along.

Karim Benzema

Next on the list of the all-time top scorers in the Champions League is Karim Benzema, with the French veteran having netted 70 goals in the competition while at Lyon and current club Real Madrid. Given that’s he just a goal behind Raul, Benzema is likely to climb the rankings further before he calls it a day and will rightly go down as one of the competition's top marksman.
