Cristiano Ronaldo is set to be honored by UEFA as the all-time leading goalscorer in the UEFA Champions League. UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin will present a special award recognizing Ronaldo’s exceptional contributions to football.
Ronaldo, whose illustrious career spans over 18 years, has achieved numerous milestones. He has netted 140 goals in 183 Champions League matches, surpassing his closest rival, Lionel Messi, by 11 goals and third-placed Robert Lewandowski by 46 goals.
The Portuguese forward has been the top scorer in the Champions League for seven seasons, more than any other player. He also holds the record for the most goals in a single Champions League season, with 17 goals during the 2013/14 campaign, including a decisive extra-time goal in the final against Atlético Madrid.
