His performance in the Champions League this season has been nothing short of amazing. The Portuguese is the only person to have scored over 10 goals in the competition this term. His closest rival on the list is Wissam Ben Yedder, who has eight goals to his name.
The likes of Neymar Junior, Lionel Messi, Edinson Cavani, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Sergio Aguero all trail behind the Los Blancos superstar.
Ronaldo's 14 goals in nine matches this season definitely emphasize his status as the finest player the Champions League has seen. In such amazing form, Real Madrid could go on to defend the trophy again.
