The young Norweigan, Erling Haaland, who players for Salzburg and the Polish striker, Robert Lewandowski, who plays for Bayern are on the lookout for a record established by Cristiano Ronaldo in the Champions League 2015/16 season.

Cristiano Ronaldo was nicknamed 'Mister Champions League' for several reasons. The Portuguese has several amazing records in the European competition, but one of them is now in danger.

During the 2015/16 season, when he was still at Real Madrid, CR7 became the first player to score in all of the Group Stage matches in the Champions League, scoring a total of 11 goals. 

In this course there are two men lurking in the background and in the last Group Stage game will be willing to do everything possible to ruin the record of the Portuguese scorer.

The first of them is Erling Haaland. The Norweigan has scored in the five previous games and they face Liverpool this Tuesday. He would become the second man to score in all six games with a goal in this game.

However, to equalise the mark must score a hat-trick against the team led by Jurgen Klopp, otherwise he will be left with fewer goals. Robert Lewandowski has a simpler job.

The Bayern player, with 4 goals against Red Star, reached 10 goals in five games. He will only need one more goal against Tottenham on Wednesday to equal Cristiano and two to beat him.
