#5 Cristiano Ronaldo records the longest gap between Champions League goals between the same side
Despite missing a few games this season after contracting COVID-19, Cristiano Ronaldo has had a blistering start to the 2020-21 campaign, scoring 12 goals in ten games in all competitions - four of them in the Champions League.
In the Champions League this season, Ronaldo scored against Ferencvaros on Matchday 4 to emulate Lionel Messi's record of 70 group-stage goals in the competition.
Another goal in the competition, this time at Dynamo Kiev, made Ronaldo the outright top-scorer in Champions League 'home' games. His 750th goal for club and country also helped him create a new record.
It marked the longest gap - 13 years, 25 days - between Champions League goals by a player against the same opposition, breaking the earlier record held by his arch-rival Lionel Messi.
On Matchday 6, Ronaldo notched up his first Champions League goals in seven games against Barcelona to help Juventus to a 3-0 win at Camp Nou and seal top place in the group.
#6 Robert Lewandowski goes third in the all-time Champions League goal-scoring charts
Robert Lewandowski may have scored 'only' thrice in this season's Champions League after plundering 15 in Bayern Munich's victorious treble-winning campaign last season.
However, his latest strike against RB Salzburg at home on Matchday 4 helped the prolific Pole go level with Raul Gonzalez (71) for third all time in the list of Champions League goal-scorers.
Lewandowski has scored 12 goals in the Bundesliga this season but has struggled to hit the ground running in the Champions League.
Nevertheless, his form will be crucial to Bayern Munich's hopes of successfully defending their title when the competition resumes in two months' time.
#7 Moukoko becomes the youngest debutant in Champions League history
In Borussia Dortmund's 2-1 win at Zenit St. Petersburg, Youssoufa Moukoko made a record-making Champions League appearance.
Just 18 days after his 16th birthday, the German striker became the youngest player in the history of the Champions League to appear in the tournament proper. In doing so, Moukoko beat the previous record held by Celestine Babayaro by over two months.
The Cameroon-born player, renowned for his prolific goal-scoring prowess in youth football, has also played three Bundesliga games for BvB but is yet to score a goal for the club.
