Fastest players to 50 Champions League goals ⚡️⚽️

Haaland has smashed the record, beating Messi, Ronaldo & co…

Here are the 7 players who reached 50 Champions League goals in the fewest number of matches.

Cristiano Ronaldo – 91 games

The UCL’s all-time top scorer (140) didn’t start fast.

Ronaldo only had 32 goals in his first 75 matches.

Then came the transformation: 108 goals in his last 108 games 🤯

Forever “Mr Champions League.”

Karim Benzema – 88 games

Five-time winner.

His finest run? 2021/22 - 15 goals in 12 games to fire Real Madrid to the trophy.

Took him 88 games to hit 50, fewer than Ronaldo.

Kylian Mbappé – 79 games

The only player here (alongside Haaland) yet to win it.

Still, he hit 50 goals in just 79 games.

At 26, he’s hunting both trophies & records.

Robert Lewandowski – 77 games

A Champions League great.

Passed the 50 mark in 77 games & has 100+ overall.

Still scoring in Europe well into his late 30s.

Lionel Messi – 66 games

Scored 129 UCL goals in 163 matches.

Needed just 66 games to reach 50 - unreal consistency.

Only two men have done it faster.

Ruud van Nistelrooy – 62 games

Held the record since 2007.

62 games to 50 goals for Man Utd & Real Madrid.

Never lifted the trophy, but one of the purest UCL finishers ever.

Erling Haaland – 49 games

Record shattered 🚨

Haaland reached 50 goals in only 49 games.

A goal every 78.8 minutes in the UCL - numbers from another planet.

Ronaldo’s 140? At this rate, it’s only a matter of time.
