The Champions League has long been regarded as the very pinnacle of club football, pitting the very best in Europe against one another.
Since its rebranding in 1992 from the European Cup, the competition has gone from strength to strength and is seen as the ultimate test for football's greats.
Question is, are you familiar with its top scorers over the years? Fear not if you need some help, here's your rundown of the all-time leading goalscorers in the Champions League.
Goals: 26 Clubs: VfB Stuttgart, Bayern Munich First Goal: Rangers 2-1 VfB Stuttgart, 19th September 2007 When you look up the word underrated, there's a small chance that in the fine print you'll see the name Mario Gomez. The German was a truly brilliant striker, and he lit up the Champions League for Bayern Munich on many occasions - particularly during 2011/12, when he netted 12 times. His most memorable haul came against Basel when he bagged four in a 6-0 win, but it's the competition winning 2012/13 campaign he'll remember most.
Goals: 27 Clubs: Barcelona, AC Milan, Olympiacos First Goal: Barcelona 3-3 Manchester United, 25th November 1998 Aged 26, Rivaldo's arrival to the Champions League party came relatively late for a player of his calibre. But the Brazilian wasted little time in showing he had an eye for the spectacular, scoring a tremendous overhead kick against Peter Schmeichel to compete a first double in the competition. One of the great technicians, he scored plenty more stunners.
