Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are the top scorers in UEFA club competitions by a wide margin.
Ronaldo and Messi also clearly top the Champions League all-time goalscoring list, and they have a considerable cushioning effect on the likes of Robert Lewandowski and Karim Benzema .
Who has scored the most goals in UEFA club matches?
Many of the world's greatest footballers have played in UEFA sanctioned club competitions since the 1955 European Cup.
From Eusebio and Alfredo Di Stefano to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, this list includes the greatest goalscorers in football history.
But who scores the most points?
With so many games in the Champions League era, it's no surprise that modern players are leading the way and it's no surprise that two players like Messi and Ronaldo are so far ahead of the curve.
In April 2017, Ronaldo became the first player to reach 100 goals in his 143rd appearance - notably, he had scored once in his first 32 European games.
Six months later, Messi emulated his great rival, reaching the milestone in 122 games.
Robert Lewandowski will become the next man to score 100 goals in UEFA club competitions.
