#3 Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich: 2019-20)
The Champions League has had some amazing goal-scorers and it would be unjust not to include Robert Lewandowski on that list. The Polish striker was in terrific form in the 2019-20 season when he helped Bayern Munich win the title.
He was on fire in the group stage matches where he scored 10 goals in five matches. The fixtures involved facing Red Star Belgrade, Tottenham Hotspur, and Olympiacos. One of his best performances saw him score four goals against Red Star Belgrade.
His efforts in both legs against Chelsea in the round of 16 saw him score thrice and register four assists. Surprisingly, he only scored once in the 8-2 thrashing of Barcelona in the quarter-finals.
Robert Lewandowski scored once against Olympique Lyon in the semifinals. Unfortunately, the Polish superstar failed to score in the Final against Paris Saint-Germain but nonetheless played a massive role in securing the title.
#2 Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich: 2020-21 and 2021-22)
The Bayern Munich striker appears for the second time on the list and that too in a unique fashion. This time, it sees Lewandowski's goal-scoring run stretch across two different seasons.
In the 2020-21 season, Bayern Munich were eliminated in the quarter-finals after losing to Paris Saint-Germain. Lewandowski missed both legs with a stretched ligament but was quite influential prior to that. He had scored in four consecutive matches which involved goals against RB Salzburg and Lazio.
The 33-year old continued his brilliant form in the current Champions League season. He was terrific in the group stages, having scored in five consecutive matches. Lewandowski registered nine goals in those five matches before his run was stopped by Barcelona at the Allianz Arena in the final group stage match.
#1 Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus: 2016-17 and 2017-18)
It comes as little surprise that Cristiano Ronaldo is at the top of the list. Given his goal-scoring abilities, there was hardly any chance that the Portuguese wouldn't have topped it.
Ronaldo had already scored in the 2016-17 Champions League Final against Juventus, where he helped Real Madrid to glory. The dynamic forward started the journey with a bang the following season, scoring nine goals in six matches in the group stage.
His formidable performance in both legs against Paris Saint-Germain in round of 16 saw Madrid through to the next round. Ronaldo scored three times in total against the French giants. He gave somewhat of a similar performance against Juventus in the quarter-finals, scoring three times in total.
Unfortunately, Ronaldo's goal-scoring run of 11 consecutive games came to an end against Bayern Munich in the semifinal. He eventually won the competition with Real Madrid as they defeated Liverpool 3-1 in the Final.
