Goals Scored: 5

Edin Dzeko is quietly proving the doubters wrong at AS Roma. Last season, Dzeko recorded 8 goals in 12 games in the Champions League. This season Dzeko has already scored 7 goals from 11 games for AS Roma in all competitions.

In the Champions League, the Bosnia-Herzegovina International has scored 5 goals from 3 games.

Dzeko started the Champions League season with a humiliating 3-0 loss at the hands of Real Madrid in the first game of the group stages. He played the full 90 minutes, got booked, but could not find the back of the net.

However, in the next game against Viktoria Plzen, Dzeko scored a hattrick, as Roma won 5-0. This week, Dzeko powered Roma to a 3-0 win over CSKA Moscow, scoring a brace and picking up an assist.

As of now, Dzeko is second in the race to the Champions League Golden Boot, however, he has scored the same number of goals as the man who tops this list.
