The Bosnian striker finished the competition with a whopping eight goals to his name last season while he led the Serie A giants to the semi-finals of the tournament. He has come back into the competition on a stronger note this term as he continues to make name for himself.
Dzeko's outing in the Champions League has been a very prolific one so far, with the Roma sharpshooter recording 5 impressive efforts to his name and he is well on track to take his tally further, after leading the Italian outfit into the knockout phase of the competition.
