The Portuguese talisman has enjoyed impressive goal-scoring form in recent weeks
Who can write off the man who's bagged the most Champions League goals in history? It's a well-known fact that Cristiano Ronaldo has the highest number of UCL Golden Boots in world football. Don't be deceived by his current tally of two goals in the European tournament as we all know the Portuguese will start banging in the goals at the business end of the season.

As a matter of fact, following a rather quiet outing in the last quarter of the previous year, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has raised his game to a whole new level since the turn of the year. He's been showing us that he is still the goal-scoring machine that we all know and love, with the goals appearing to be never-ending.
The 35-year-old is currently on an impressive goal-scoring run for Juventus in the Italian top-flight, having found the back of the net in each of his last 10 appearances. He now sits second on the top scorer's chart with 20 goals from 20 matches. He has certainly taken off in fantastic fashion this term and will be keen to get one over Messi once more.
