Azpilicueta has scored more goals in the Champions League this season than Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo may be the all-time leading scorer in Champions League history, but this season the five-time Golden Ball winner has scored fewer goals in this tournament than Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta.

Cesar Azpilicueta was one of the goalscorers in Chelsea’s 2:1 victory over Stilleford Lille in the last match of the Champions League group stage, reaching two goals in Europe so far this season.

The Spanish defender’s stats, ahead of Juventus’s match against Bayer Leverkusen tonight, make him ahead of Ronaldo in the list of top scorers this season, despite playing 22 and less than the Portuguese.
 
Ronaldo has scored 127 goals in his career in Europe’s most prestigious competition matches, but has managed to score only once this season – against Leverkusen in October.

The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star holds so many Champions League records that he has reached the point where Ronaldo has suggested that the Champions League be renamed the CR7 Champions League.

However, the Portuguese has not been very fortunate in front of the opposing gate this season and world media have reported that Ronaldo has regretted his move to Juventus for £ 99m in the summer of 2018.

According to ABC and The Mirror, Ronaldo has told his former team-mates that he would have won the Golden Ball in the last two years if he had stayed in the Spanish capital.
