Top Champions League goalscorers of all time: Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe climbing list but Cristiano Ronaldo still leads way
Erling Haaland is continuing his rapid rise up the all-time Champions League goalscorers list but has a long way to go to catch leader Cristiano Ronaldo.
Since the Norwegian made his debut in 2019, he's made UEFA's premier competition look easy.
And given he's still very young, you would imagine there are many more goals to come for Haaland.
Kylian Mbappe is also regularly scoring in the Champions League and will no doubt continue — as long as he stays in Europe.
However, they will have to be prolific for years to come to catch former Real Madrid and Manchester United superstar Ronaldo.
The Portuguese icon leads the way, with Lionel Messi just behind.
