Roberto Firmino closing in on Cristiano Ronaldo goal record in UCL

He came from the bench to serve as a game changer for Liverpool.

However, Roberto Firmino has created a new record for himself and his now close to topping world best player and Portugal international, Cristiano Ronaldo goal record.

According to the goal records, Roberto Firmino now has a total of 11 goals in the UEFA champions league which in contrast with Ronaldo 15 goals.

Apart from Roberto Firmino, Liverpool two other forwards, Mo Salah and Sadio Mane are closely behind Firmino in terms of goals in the Uefa Champions league.
