#1 -The king of the champions league
Ronaldo undoubtedly is one of the best players to ever take part in the competition. He has got the most appearances(183), goals(140) and assists(42). He has played in the UCL almost every year of his professional career except for this year. He has won the UCL five times, with one time with United and four times with the Los Blancos.
