#1 Lionel Messi
There is no better player to score more goals than Cristiano Ronaldo in the UEFA Champions League this season than Barcelona superstar, Lionel Messi. The duo have shared an intense rivalry on top of the football world for the past 10 years and that is set to continue this term with the Barcelona legend coming all-out to challenge his Portuguese counterpart in the European tournament once again.
Messi has been one of the top performers on the continent for the past few years. On his day, he can take on opposing defenses all by himself, destroy them using his electrifying dribbling skills and unbelievable intelligence as well as sending the ball into the back of the net with great ease.
After leaving a forgettable World Cup experience behind him and starting the new season in great form, the Argentine will be looking forward to regaining his European dominance this term and he could actually outscore Cristiano Ronaldo in the UEFA Champions League during the campaign.
