UEFA, on Wednesday night, revealed Champions League all-time top scorers.
The Europe football governing body released a list of the top ten all-time highest goal scorers in a post via its Twitter handle following the completion of this season’s quarter-final first-leg fixtures on Wednesday.
Recall that Real Madrid defeated Chelsea 3-1 at Stamford Bridge, thanks to Karim Benzema’s hat-trick, while Villarreal won 1-0 against Bayern Munich.
Benzema’s three goals against Chelsea mean the France international has now scored 82 Champions League goals in this career so far.
The 34-year-old is just three goals behind third-placed Robert Lewandowski in the latest rankings released by UEFA.
Below is the top ten UEFA’s all-time top scorers:
1. Cristiano Ronaldo – 140
