#1 Cristiano Ronaldo (34)
A five-time Ballon d'Or winner, Cristiano Ronaldo has been in sublime form for the past 12 years. A precariously talented youngster at Sporting CP, Ronaldo was discovered by Sir Alex Ferguson in a pre-season game and that is where it all began for the Portuguese international.

It was at Manchester United that the Portuguese superstar first cemented his legacy as one of the greatest players of our generation. The former Real Madrid man has made this competition his own.
He has scored 120 Champions League goals in the 153 games he played in. He is one of only two players to score 100 goals in the Champions League and has the highest number of UEFA Champions League golden boot awards - six. He also holds the record of scoring the joint-most number of hat-tricks in the UCL.
Often known as a selfish player, Ronaldo stands high and mighty on the list of the most assists in the competition with 34. The 5-time UCL winner will be hoping to cement his position at the top with his new club Juventus.
