Juventus frontman Cristiano Ronaldo also misses out on the top 20 while no Liverpool player manages to crack the list, despite being current Champions League holders.

Ronaldo comes even further down the list sliding in at 54th.

Lewandowski is joint top of the scoring charts with Haaland in the competition, also managing to net ten times.

He'll return to European action next week when Bayern travel to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea.

It's Haaland who garnered all the attention in the first week of round of 16 action.

He showed breathtaking pace in the first half against the French champions and ran from one half to the other in near-record time before going on to score two in the second half.

Who do you think has been the Champions League's best player this season?
