Cristiano Ronaldo Listed at 2.75 To Win Goal Scoring Title

Published on October 30th, 2014 6:11 pm EST
It's a fairly simple equation - Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the top goal scorers in the world and Real Madrid is the current co-favourite to win the 2014/15 Champions League title (along with Bayern Munich, as both are listed at 4.00 to win). Take into account those two points and you are left with Cristiano Ronaldo being the current favourite to become the top goalscorer in this year's Champions League tournament.

Here are the odds for the top 10 players as of this moment:

Cristiano Ronaldo, 2.75
Lionel Messi, 6.00
Luiz Adriano, 6.00
Karim Benzema, 15.00
Robert Lewandowski, 15.00
Neymar, 17.00
Sergio Aguero, 19.00
Thomas Muller, 21.00
Arjen Robben, 26.00
Diego Costa, 26.00

Barcelona and Chelsea are seen as having a slightly worse chance of winning Champions League this season (both teams are 6.00 to win), which is why names like Lionel Messi find themselves lower down the list.

Through the first three games of Group Stage play, the list of the top goal scorers in Champions League looks like this:

Luiz Adriano, 6
Karim Benzema, 4
Adrian Ramos, 3
Jackson Martinez, 3
Yacine Brahimi, 3
Gervinho, 3
Cristiano Ronaldo, 3
Danny Welbeck, 3
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, 3
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, 3

Who will come out on top?
