#2. Lionel Messi, 6 goals
It has been a tough year for Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi who failed to reach expectations during the recent FIFA World Cup tournament and missed out on both the FIFA and Ballon d'Or awards as a result, but the Argentine has seized the UEFA Champions League to remind us all that he is still undisputed.
Messi is a man on a mission in the European tournament this term, having entered into the competition in a scintillating form - tearing opposition defenses apart and making goalkeepers look hopeless as he sends the ball into the back of the net.
The Barcelona playmaker is currently one of the top scorers in the European tournament, with an unbelievable six goals to his name in just four appearances and he will be looking forward to improving that record, having inspired Barcelona into the next phase of the competition.
