Despite going to Saudi Arabia to play football, Cristiano Ronaldo still owns a series of top records in Europe’s number one tournament.
 |
| Scores the most goals in history : With Lionel Messi and Karim Benzema no longer playing in Europe, Ronaldo’s record of 140 goals in the Champions League is temporarily safe. Anyone who wants to catch up with CR7’s achievements, that player must score at least 10 goals in 14 consecutive seasons. Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe both need more than 90 goals to reach Ronaldo’s milestone. |
 |
| Scored the most goals in the knockout round : Ronaldo’s milestone of 67 goals in the Champions League came from the knockout round, more than any other player in the tournament’s history. |
 |
| Most goals scored from the quarter-finals : Ronaldo’s record in the Champions League is even more impressive when considering the number of goals he scored from the quarter-finals onwards. 42 goals is an “unprecedented” achievement of the Portuguese superstar. By comparison, Messi has only scored 20 goals at this stage of the tournament. |
 |
| Most goals scored in a season : 2013/14 was truly a historic season for Ronaldo. He played the role of trigger to help Real Madrid win their first Champions League trophy since the 2001/02 season. The record that Ronaldo set this season is 17 goals . Karim Benzema (2021/22) and Robert Lewandowski (2019/20) in their best season could only score 15 goals. |
 |
| Scored in 11 consecutive matches : From June 2017 to April 2018, Ronaldo scored in 11 consecutive matches in the Champions League. Since then, this is a record that no one has been able to surpass. |
 |
| Most matches attended : In the period 2003 – 2022, Ronaldo had 183 appearances in the number one continental tournament, the most in history. Among the players still playing in Europe, Thomas Muller (149 matches) is the closest to approaching this record. However, he is still 34 games behind Ronaldo – quite a distance. |
 |
| 7 times top scorer : Ronaldo’s remarkable scoring instincts can be summed up by the fact that he has won the Champions League Golden Boot award 7 times. A hard-to-break record. Messi followed closely behind with 6 times, but the Argentine superstar also left Europe to play football in the US. Haaland is probably the player with the most chance of breaking this record in the future. Currently, the Man City striker has won twice, while Mpappe has never been named. |
