Cristiano Ronaldo is one of two outstanding players in this generation and also one of the greatest of all time. When it comes to the UEFA Champions League though, this man surely is the very best. He is top scorer in UCL history, with 117 goals in 148 games.

He has scored 102 goals in 96 matches for Real Madrid in Europe's elite competition. The Portuguese star has scored in every UCL game so far this term, notching 12 goals so far.

Cristiano Ronaldo is evolving and rather than terrorizing opposition defences with his pace and assists, he now concentrates on scoring goals. He is specializing in getting goals via one touch, with 22 of the 33 he has this season coming that way. In other words, he is concentrating on interpreting play and getting ahead of defences by thinking quicker.

Cristiano proved to be the decisive factor in Real Madrid's back to back UEFA Champions League triumph last season and with him hitting form with 17 goals already in 2018, Los Blancos would be hoping that their talisman does the business yet again for them.
