Barcelona star Lionel Messi leads the way at the top of the Champions League scoring charts as he looks to win Europe’s biggest club competition for a fifth time.
The Argentine, who is the Champions League’s second all-time leading goalscorer, behind only Cristiano Ronaldo, has 12 strikes already this campaign.
Bayern Munich man Robert Lewandowski scored eight goals before Bayern Munich's campaign was brought to an end by Liverpool at the last 16 stage.
Two of the competitions surprise stars, Ajax’s Dusan Tadic and Porto’s Moussa Marega, both have six goals to their name.
Ronaldo, who has been the Champions League’s top scorer in seven different seasons, also finished on six after Juventus were dumped out by Ajax.
With Liverpool trio Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino all sat on four goals, Messi seems certain to secure this season's Golden Boot.
