5) Most goals in a single European season
Trending
Radamel Falcao holds the record for the most number of goals in a single European season when he set the Europa League on fire with 18 goals to his name in 2010-11. He was absolutely unstoppable that season and was duly awarded with the Europa League trophy.
The Colombian scored one goal in the qualifying stages and the remaining 17 goals in the competition proper. El Tigre's record still holds till this day even though both Messi and Ronaldo are knocking on the door.
Messi’s most prolific Champions League season came in the 2011/12 season when he scored 14 goals in the competition while Ronaldo came closest with 17 goals in the 2013/14 Champions League, which he won. Ronaldo enters this year’s Champions League final with 16 strikes to his name.
The Portuguese sensation needs one goal to equalise his best output and two goals to equal Radamel Falcao’s record. A hat-trick would make him the most prolific goal scorer in a single European season.
