Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo is the all-time top-scorer in the Champions League with 126 goals (15 for Manchester United, 105 for Real Madrid and six for Juventus). Not surprisingly, he has a slew of records (both standalone and shared) in the competition.

Ronaldo has scored against a record-equaling 32 different clubs in the competition and is the oldest scorer of a Champions League hat-trick. Along with Lionel Messi, Ronaldo has scored a competition-record eight hat-tricks.

Ronaldo is the only player to score in Champions League finals for two different winning clubs (Manchester United in 2008, Madrid in 2014 and 2017).

The Portugal captain is also the only player to score in each game of the group-stage of the Champions League (2015-16) and the only player to score 10 or more goals in seven successive seasons (2011-12 to 2017-18).

Ronaldo's 17 goals in 2013-14 is the most in a Champions League season by any player.

Ronaldo's 66 goals in the knockout stage of the Champions League (Round of 16 to final) is 20 goals better than the next highest tally in the competition.

The Portuguese striker's 163 Champions League appearances is the most in competition history behind former Real Madrid teammate Iker Casillas (177).

Ronaldo has been the Champions League top-scorer in a record six consecutive seasons and is the only player to win five Champions League titles (one for Manchester United, four for Real Madrid).
