History

Historical Context

In 2017 Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player to score in eleven consecutive Champions League matches, a record helped by the 1990s expansion that added group-stage games and more scoring chances. Harry Kane, who has 58 Champions League goals, now sits one goal short of that mark, keeping the record central to Ballon d’Or discussions.
