It's a well-known fact that the UEFA Champions League is the favourite tournament of Cristiano Ronaldo. A five-time winner, Ronaldo has finished the competition as the top goalscorer on seven separate occasions.

Cristiano Ronaldo also had his name written in gold as a result of his excellence in the competition. The Portuguese forward is the first player to be the Champions League top scorer for six consecutive years.

For the previous six editions of the tournament starting from the 2012-13 season, Ronaldo has been the top scorer in all of them. His haul of 17 goals in the 2013-14 season still remains the highest tally for a single season in Europe.

Messi, himself has been the Champions League top scorer on four straight occasions from 2008-09 till 2011-12. But, extending this feat for 6 more seasons maybe beyond the capabilities of even a phenomenon like him.
