#3 Karim Benzema - 60 goals
One of the top goalscorers in UEFA Champions League history, Karim Benzema will undoubtedly retire as one of Real Madrid's greatest forwards. A mainstay in Los Blancos' attack for over a decade, Benzema has played a crucial role in the team's success in the competition.
Benzema formed a scintillating partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale which was decisive in Real Madrid's success in the previous decade. The French forward was happy to drift down and create space for his teammates but he did score when necessary.
Benzema has racked up 60 goals and 24 assists in 113 appearances in the UEFA Champions League with Real Madrid. Since Ronaldo's departure, Benzema has been leading Los Blancos' attack and has turned up with goals in crucial moments.
The 33-year old is currently enjoying one of his best starts to the campaign. It goes without saying that he will score more in the competition if he keeps up his form.
#2 Raul - 66 goals
Before the arrival of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, Raul was the highest goalscorer in the UEFA Champions League. Once the Champions League's numero uno, Raul was also an iconic and lovable figure at the Santiago Bernabeu due to his prowess.
Raul scored 66 goals in his 130 UEFA Champions League games for Los Blancos. The Spanish legend went on to win three UEFA Champions League titles with Real Madrid, scoring in the finals against Valencia and Bayer Leverkusen respectively.
Raul's exploits with the Royal Whites are a testament to the greatness of the forward. The 'prince of Real Madrid' was the other half of the duo whose attacking partnership would propel the Spanish giants to glory during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
#1 Cristiano Ronaldo - 105 goals
Cristiano Ronaldo needs no introduction. Since arriving from Manchester United in 2009, the Portuguese great has gone on to become Real Madrid's greatest goalscorer of all time. Ronaldo has also been dubbed 'Mr Champions League' due to his exploits.
Out of his 450 goals for Los Blancos, 105 of them came in the UEFA Champions League. It goes without saying that Ronaldo's goals helped Real Madrid win four UEFA Champions League titles during his nine-year stay at the club. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner helped the Spanish giants reach unparalleled heights which included Real Madrid winning the title three consecutive times.
Ronaldo has marked his time in the Spanish capital with numerous records. He has scored the most number of goals, the most goals in a single campaign and has made the most appearances for Real Madrid in UEFA Champions League history.
