Out of the many that make their move out of the Dutch League, only very few experience the same level of success elsewhere. Van Nistelrooy was definitely one of them. After making his move from PSV to Manchester United, he developed into one of the most lethal strikers on the planet.

Before joining Real Madrid, he was key to the dominance of Alex Ferguson’s side and in the 2002-03 season, scored in the Champions League in an incredible 9 consecutive games. 10 if you include a goal in the qualifying round against Zalaegerzegi of Hungary.

With Ronaldo winning the UEFA Champions League top-scorer award on 5 separate occasions already, you wouldn’t put it beyond him to break Nistelrooy’s streak in any of the upcoming editions; with the superstar usually saving his best performances for Europe’s top continental prize.
