#1 He has made a bigger impact on the UEFA Champions League than any other player
To set the record straight, Cristiano Ronaldo is the highest scorer among all active footballers in the world currently. The Portuguese is the archetypal goal machine, and that is epitomised by the 586 goals he has scored thus far in his career.
Among his competitors for the crown of greatest footballer of all time, only Pele has scored more. However, the Brazil legend never played in the UEFA Champions League, where Ronaldo still reigns supreme.
No player has scored more goals in Europe’s elite club competition than the Portuguese who has 121 strikes to his name. Consider the fact that the UEFA Champions League is rated as the toughest and most competitive inter-club competition in the world and it is easy to see why Ronaldo is the greatest player of all time.
The Portuguese has not only won the Champions League five times, he has completely dominated the competition and has been crowned top scorer for the past four years consecutively.
