UEFA Champions League all-time top scorers

Sports Mole rounds up the all-time top scorers list in the Champions League, with Kylian Mbappe climbing into the top 10 with his brace against Barcelona.

Kylian Mbappe moved into the top 10 of the Champions League's all-time top scorers with his brace against Barcelona in a thrilling quarter-final which ended 6-4 on aggregate to Paris Saint-Germain.

The 25-year-old's tie-winning goals at Camp Nou took him up to 48 in the Champions League overall, drawing him level with two AC Milan legends in Andriy Shevchenko and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

However, the other active members of the Champions League 40-goal club could not add to their respective tallies over the two nights of quarter-final second legs, with the leading scorer still in the competition - Robert Lewandowski - drawing a blank as Mbappe stole the headlines at the other end.

Thomas Muller failed to make it on the pitch as Bayern Munich beat Arsenal to progress to the semi-finals, while Erling Haaland was also kept quiet in the heavyweight showdown between Manchester City and Real Madrid.

Here, Sports Mole looks at the latest standings in the Champions League top-scorers list, including every player to have scored 40 goals or more.
