As football teams battle each other to get to the top, the players themselves cannot help but to compete in an individual rivalry for the title of the best goal scorer. The season of the UEFA Champions Leauge 2017-18 is already heating up because of all the intense attempts of the players to demonstrate the best of their abilities.
Champions League top scorers
Cristiano Ronaldo showed impressive results last year. He made his way to the top of the ranks of the goal scorers with 12 goals as a player for the Real Madrid team. It was certainly a difficult and intense fight for the team to maintain their championship status. Fortunately, they are able to keep the Champions League title for the second time in a row.

For Cristiano it was not an easy walk in a park as well. He was still trying to edge out his long-time known opponent Lionel Messi, who scored 11 goals for his team. Similar level of skills was shown by players Edinson Cavani and Robert Lewandowski. Kylian Mbappe earned one of the top position due to his precocious play-style and completed the list of the best goal scorers last season.
Now, there will be no surprise if Cristiano Ronaldo manages to hold his Champions League Top Scorer Status in the season of 2017-18, according to the scoring table. Ronaldo has demonstrated that he is the best when it comes to goal-scorers’ results in a group stage of UEFA Champions League for the sixth time.
As UEFA results show, Ronaldo is the only player that managed to demonstrate the best result in the group-stage. He scored nine goals in Group H. Those results helped him during the group stage record with 11 goals in the 2015-16 seasons.
Rivalry between top players
If one starts the topic about the highest goal scorers’ results, it will be difficult not to mention Cristiano Ronaldo time and time again! He really impressed millions with his result of 114 goals in the UEFA Champions League. This number includes 60 goals in the group stage. The same result that Lionel Messi had.
During the season of 2007-08, the competitive spirit between two players reached its highest point! Nobody knew for sure whether Cristiano or Lionel will emerge the top scorer of all time. Now Ronaldo is on top when it comes to that particular ranking and has shown true skill in the last decade.
