UEFA Champions League 2018/19 Golden Boot: Top Contenders at the start of April 2019

#4 Sergio Aguero (Argentina, Manchester City)

Manchester City v FC Schalke 04 - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Second Leg

Goals Scored - 5

The Argentine enters this list for the first time this season and is ranked ahead of Kane and Dybala out by virtue of better goals per game ratio.

Aguero ended the group stages with 2 goals from 3 appearances. In the round of 16, though, the Argentinean showed his pedigree. He scored a goal in the away leg and topped it up with a brace in the home leg, to secure passage to the Quarter Finals. Tottenham awaits them in the Quarter Finals, but with Aguero in the side, Guardiola will be quietly confident.

Sergio Aguero has scored 5 goals from 5 games in the Champions League, averaging a goal every 70 minutes played.

#3 Dusan Tadic (Serbia, Ajax)

Real Madrid v Ajax - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Second Leg

Goals Scored - 6

The Serbian has been one of the players of the tournament. Tadic has been in the fringes of this list, and finally makes his appearance at the start of April. The Serbian is the heart of this young Ajax side and has lit up the left side of his team with his skills and tricks.

Tadic has 6 goals and 3 assists in the UEFA Champions League this season. He finished the group stages with 5 goals from 6 games. After failing to score in the home defeat to Real Madrid in the first leg of the round of 16, Tadic had something special up his sleeves for the return leg.

The Serbian shocked the Bernabeu by scoring one goal and setting up 2, eventually inspiring his side to a fantastic comeback win to reach the quarterfinals. Up against the mighty Juventus next, Tadic, who is averaging a goal every 120 minutes played, could be the deciding factor on the night for Ajax.
