Cristiano Ronaldo, so called Mr. Champions League, holds the record for highest goals scored in UEFA Champions League history. He has netted 140 UCL goals in his career so far, not to mention he could have scored more if Manchester Untied had played in the competition this season.
The 5 times Ballon dÓr winner holds another record of scoring most goals in a single Champions League season, having netted 17 goals in 2013/14 season. He totally dominates the competition on his own.

Lionel Messi is just 12 goals away from breaking the record of his greatest rival. He might not be able to break it this season but if Ronaldo doesn’t play in the competition next season as well, he may break it by then.
