LIONEL MESSI

Messi overtaken by Neuer in Champions League appearances

UEFA lists Neuer on 164 main-competition appearances, ahead of Messi’s 163; Ronaldo remains top on 183.

Our take: In our matching main-competition archive, Messi averages 0.79 goals per appearance and Ronaldo 0.77. That scoring comparison uses the same eligible matches for each player’s goals and appearances, and answers a different question from the appearance ranking.

CRISTIANO RONALDO

Ronaldo keeps streak record as Kane’s run ends

UEFA confirms Kane did not score in Bayern’s win at Atlético, ending his run short of Ronaldo’s record.

Our take: Counting appearances in our archive, Ronaldo’s longest Champions League scoring run is 11 matches, compared with Messi’s 5. This counts successive appearances, so it should not be confused with goals in successive team fixtures or a single-season scoring record.
