We are talking about this season.
The legendary striker and now UAF President Andrei Shevchenko, even before the start of this season, occupied the tenth position in the list of top scorers in the UEFA Champions League, with 48 goals scored , the same as Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Kylian Mbappe.
Let’s remember that there is a good chance that Shevchenko will be overtaken by three players at the same time before the end of the season.
The Real Madrid forward has already managed to break into the TOP 10 and oust the legendary Ukrainians and Swedes who scored against Stuttgart at the start of the current campaign. After his brace against Feyenoord, Erling Goland now has 46 goals to his name and needs to score three more to overtake Shevchenko.
This task is most difficult for Mohamed Salah, who currently has 45 goals in the Champions League (1 in the current championship).
