5 Highest Scoring Defenders in Champions League History

Ramo
This Spanish pair share a tendency to score goals from defence

#2 Ivan Helguera

Real Madrid v Juventus
The Spaniard gained 47 caps for his country during a successful career

UEFA Champions League Appearances: 87

UEFA Champions League Goals: 15

The Spaniard retired from football in 2008 at the age of 33. Before retiring, Helguera enjoyed a successful 10 year stint at Real Madrid, before finishing his career in Valencia. His incredible goal-scoring record in Europe was aided by the fact that the player occasionally operated just in front of the Madrid defence.

Overall, he averaged a goal every 6 matches in UEFA's top competition, which is easily the best ratio on the list.
