The most successful English club in the Champions League, Liverpool are known for their attacking approach and quick counter-attacking style of football. The Merseysiders won the Champions League five times (1976–77, 1977–78, 1980–81, 1983–84, 2004–05).
Jurgen Klopp's men are doing well in this year's Champions League and have one foot in the semi-finals after beating Manchester City 3-0 in the first leg of the quarter-finals. They have a real chance of winning the competition and are capable of beating any team on their day.
From Kenny Dalglish to Steven Gerrard to Mohamed Salah, the club has a never-ending list of iconic attackers and have scored more than 350 goals in the competition.
On that note, let's look at the top five Liverpool goalscorers in the Champions League history.
#5 Michael Owen
At number five on this list is one of the best Liverpool strikers ever, Michael Owen. He scored nine goals in 16 Champions League games.
The former England international was a revelation since his debut for Liverpool in 1997. He finished as the joint Premier League top goal scorer (18 goals) in his first full season. In fact, he was Liverpool's top goal scorer from 1997 to 2004.
The former Liverpool striker's amazing form for his club and country earned him the Ballon d'Or in 2001. He received the Premier League Golden Boot award in the seasons 1997-98 and 1998-99 along with the Golden Foot award in 2017.
He had brief spells with the Real Madrid, Newcastle United and Manchester United, however, he is best known for his time at Anfield.
#4 Luis Garcia
The former Spanish international is at number four on our list. He had scored 10 goals in 24 Champions League appearances.
Luis Garcia played a vital role in Liverpool's 2004-05 Champions League triumph and was Liverpool's top scorer during that campaign. He scored five goals in the Champions League that season including their winner in the semi-final against Chelsea.
He was a part of the UEFA Team of the Year in 2005 and he finished as the Champions League runners-up with Liverpool in the 2006-2007 season.
Injuries hampered his progress at Anfield and he eventually left the club for Atletico Madrid in 2007.
#3 Peter Crouch
The tall and lanky forward scored 11 goals in 31 Champions League appearances for the Reds.
Crouch had a slow start at Anfield and was criticised because of his goal drought during his early days at the club. He was unable to score in his first 19 matches that went on for a span of four months. However, he ended his goal drought during a match against Wigan Athletic in December 2005.
The former Liverpool striker had been a revelation since then and he also scored the only goal in the fifth round of the FA Cup against Manchester United, Liverpool's first victory over them in the FA Cup post-Second World War.
He played a vital role in Liverpool's journey to the Champions League final in 2007 and scored six goals in the process.
#2 Dirk Kuyt
The most loved Dutch player in Liverpool's history, Dirk Kuyt had scored 12 goals in 40 games for the Merseysiders which puts him on the second spot.
Known for his hard-working nature and finishing abilities, the former Netherland international was a cult figure at Anfield and is still a popular figure among the Liverpool fans. He spent six seasons with the Reds and won the 2011-2012 League Cup with the club.
He left the Reds for Fenerbahce in 2012 before moving to his native country for his former club, Feyenoord in 2015.
Kuyt won the Dutch Golden Shoe in 2003 and 2006 and was the Dutch Footballer of the Year in 2006. He provided the most number of assists during the FIFA World Cup 2010.
#1 Steven Gerrard
Regarded as one of the best midfielders to ever grace the game of football, Steven Gerrard is at number one on our list. The former England international scored 30 goals in 87 Champions League appearances.
The Liverpool legend was often considered the best midfielder in the league during his peak days. Best known for his leadership qualities, techniques and the ability to score goals from distance, Gerrard won the Liverpool Player of the Season four times. He was also awarded the UEFA Club Footballer of the Year award in 2005 along with the Ballon d'Or Bronze Award.
The former Liverpool captain is the only footballer in history to score in an FA Cup Final, a League Cup Final, a UEFA Cup Final and a UEFA Champions League Final, winning on each occasion.
Gerrard ended his career with the MLS side, LA Galaxy and is working as a youth coach for Liverpool's U18.
