With five European Cups to their name, including four this century alone, Barcelona are undoubtedly one of the clubs most synonymous with the UEFA Champions League.
The Blaugrana first rose to prominence on the continental stage with their ‘Dream Team’ of the early 90s before Guardiola took tiki-taka football to another level on memorable nights in Rome and at Wembley Stadium.
Here’s a list of Barca’s 30 top scorers in the Champions League.

Who else but Lionel Messi? There are simply no words to describe the genius of the little magician. His goal record is ridiculous and may never be matched in Barcelona colours.
