Cristiano Ronaldo extended his advantage over Harry Kane at the top of the Uefa Champions League goal standings with a brace in Real Madrid's 6-0 rout of Apoel Nicosia on Tuesday night.

Nobody has scored more Champions League goals in 2017 than the Real Madrid star, who added two second-half strikes as the holders ran riot in Cyprus, and could have had even more had he not unselfishly laid on an open goal for Karim Benzema earlier in the match,

The night's action sees Ronaldo move on to eight goals after five gameweeks - two ahead of Kane, who added to his tally during Tottenham's 2-1 comeback win against Borussia Dortmund.

The Spurs star is joined on six strikes by Sevilla's Wissam Ben Yedder, who netted a brace in the Spanish club's stunning 3-3 comeback draw against Liverpool after being three goals down inside 22 minutes.

Roberto Firmino scored twice in the same game to take his tally to five goals for the 2017-18 competition, ahead of the likes of Neymar and Lionel Messi.

Barcelona talisman Messi remains stuck on three goals, but can add to his tally on Wednesday as Barca take on Juventus.
