The highly anticipated Champions League draw has come and gone and all clubs now know their fates in the European tournament – with the likes of Barcelona, Paris Saint Germain, and Liverpool emerging in tough groups, while the likes of Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich should find it easier this year.
While clubs will be locking horns as they aim to win the competition this term, top attackers will also be going head-to-head in their bid to finish on top of the goalscoring chart for the campaign.
Juventus forward, Cristiano Ronaldo emerged as the top scorer of the competition in each of the past 6 seasons and he will be looking forward to continuing with his dominance as the Bianconeri eye the top prize this term.
However, there are other attackers who could upset the odds and finish ahead of the Portuguese on the goalscoring chart this season. Lionel Messi could be very well one of those attackers.
There is no better player to score more goals than Cristiano Ronaldo in the UEFA Champions League this season than Barcelona superstar, Lionel Messi. The duo have shared an intense rivalry on top of the football world for the past 10 years and that is set to continue this term with the Barcelona legend coming all-out to challenge his Portuguese counterpart in the European tournament once again.
Messi has been one of the top performers on the continent for the past few years. On his day, he can take on opposing defenses all by himself, destroy them using his electrifying dribbling skills and unbelievable intelligence as well as sending the ball into the back of the net with great ease.
After leaving a forgettable World Cup experience behind him and starting the new season in great form, the Argentine will be looking forward to regaining his European dominance this term and he could actually outscore Cristiano Ronaldo in the UEFA Champions League during the campaign.
