10 best goal scoring midfielders of the Champions League era

#5 Luis Enrique – 19 goals

Luis Enrique is one of the few players to have played for both Real Madrid and Barcelona

Current Barcelona manager Luis Enrique enjoyed a pretty successful spell at Real Madrid for 5 seasons winning a La Liga title in the 1994/95 season. Enrique stayed till his contract ran out and moved on a free transfer to Real Madrid’s huge rivals Barcelona in 1996.

The Catalan club’s fans were initially hesitant about their new acquisition but Enrique won their hearts by staying 8 seasons at the Camp Nou and scoring many times in the El Clasico against Real Madrid. Although the Spaniard spent 5 seasons at Real Madrid, he made a controversial statement saying: " I rarely felt appreciated by the Real Madrid supporters and didn't have good memories there.”

Although he played at two of Spain’s biggest clubs, he failed to win the UEFA Champions League title in his career. When he announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 34, he had racked up 144 goals in club competition while averaging over 1 goal per every 4 games which is exceptional for a midfielder.
