Cristiano Ronaldo is likely the best player in the Champions' League history

Cristiano Ronaldo could be regarded as the best player in the history of the Champions League.

The Portuguese left his mark against Atletico and he now has 125 goals in the tournament, having been the competition's top scorer in seven seasons.

Ronaldo has won five Champions League trophies and is the only player to have scored in three finals, 11 consecutive games and all six group matches.

The former Real Madrid superstar has scored 63 of his 125 goals in the knockout stages, with 37 of those coming in the return leg - when it tends to matter most.

Lionel Messi may be the only who can be compared to Ronaldo just by far. The Argentine was top scorer in the Champions on five occasions, scoring 106 goals. He has netted 66 times in the group stage and, along with Luiz Adriano, able to score five goals in a game.
