Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi: Who has scored more UEFA Champions League goals?

Ronaldo and Messi both dominated UCL in terms of goals and assists.

What Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have done in football will certainly take a great amount of consistency for other players to reach their level.

Their numbers in every competition have not been normal, but for them scoring 40 goals a season always looked like an easy challenge. While we see other players reaching the 20-goal mark, it looks like a big thing now. This is how both made football look so easy during their time in Europe.

They enjoyed scoring goals. They seemed to be scoring a brace or hat trick every once in a while. While it’s difficult to score goals every game, for them it was their bread and butter. Their enduring consistency in goal-scoring that other players wouldn’t be able to match with ease.

However, we do have some players who have also made scoring goals look easy, Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe have tried to reach that level with their respective clubs.

Manchester City’s Haaland as a goalscorer has been scoring goals left and right. This season he has already reached nine goals in just four games. Mbappe, who joined Real Madrid this summer transfer window, has scored three goals. He is currently settling in LaLiga.

However, Messi and Ronaldo have accomplished amazing feats during their time in Europe, establishing their supremacy in every competition.

In the UEFA Champions League, both players used to run riot and score goals. Ronaldo has won five trophies, while Messi has four UCL titles. But who has the most goals in the competition?
