That's a stat to talk about
All said and done, here's an interesting stat from the Champions League 2019-20 season. Believe it or not, Azpilicueta has found the net more times than the all-time great - Cristiano Ronaldo. The former Real Madrid player has scored one goal in five games played so far whereas Chelsea's defender has a total of two goals in six games. The stats become more interesting when you compare the number of shots both the players have had in the competition. Cristiano Ronaldo had a total of 25 attempts with the ball whereas Azpilicueta bagged two goals in four attempts.
It goes without saying that Cristiano Ronaldo is in a league of his own and his record in the competition over the years has been nothing short of extraordinary. Ronaldo has a total of 128 goals in the Champions League which is more than what has been scored by most of the top teams in Europe. The Juventus No. 7 is rightly called "Mr Champions League" and it won't come as a surprise to anyone if the five-time Champions League winner ends up as a top scorer at the end of the competition. Do you think that is possible? Do let us know in the comments section.
