#T4 Robert Lewandowski - 9 goals

Like Karim Benzema, Robert Lewandowski is one of the top 5 active scorers in the Champions League and is one of 5 players to have scored 9 or more Round of 16 goals in the competition.

The Polish international has scored 3 Round of 16 goals for Borussia Dortmund and 6 for Bayern Munich.

#3 Thomas Muller - 12 goals

With 44 goals in the tournament proper (not including qualifiers), Thomas Muller is the 5th most prolific active scorer in the UEFA Champions League.

This is also the highest tally of goals by a player without scoring a hat-trick in the competition.

Muller's 12 Round of 16 goals in the Champions League have all come for Bayern Munich. Like his club-mate Robert Lewandowski, the German midfielder has not scored in this stage of the competition since netting a brace in Bayern's 5-0 home win over Besiktas.
