Kylian Mbappe remains the closest active contender to surpassing the all-time Champions League scoring record, though he faces a monumental task.
Cristiano Ronaldo leads the all-time list with 140 goals, followed by Lionel Messi with 129.
Neither superstar currently competes in European football, making it almost certain their tallies will remain unchanged.
Robert Lewandowski occupies third place but cannot add to his total after transferring from Barcelona to Chicago Fire.
Karim Benzema, the 2022 Ballon d’Or winner, sits fourth but is currently without a club.
Raul, who shares fifth place with Mbappe, retired from professional football in 2015.
Consequently, Mbappe could theoretically become the competition’s greatest scorer, but would need to nearly double his current output to do so.
