UEFA Champions League 2018/19: 10 Players who have outscored Cristiano Ronaldo this season

#5 Edin Dzeko (AS Roma) - 5 goals

Edin Dzeko is easily one of the most underrated strikers in the world - strong, good in the air, technically proficient and a clinical finisher, the 32-year-old is just about a complete striker and has a decent goals record but surprisingly does not get the recognition his performances deserve.

This season the Bosnian scored five goals and created a further four assists in just six appearances in the Champions League although he was powerless to stop Roma's elimination at the hands of Porto.

#4 Moussa Marega (Porto) - 6 goals

Moussa Marega has been one of the revelations of the season, with his form being one of the driving factors that has propelled Porto this far in the Champions League.

The Malian international has scored six goals in addition to two assists from seven matches, with his goals coming in six consecutive matches to make him only the sixth player to achieve this unique feat.
