The is the upper echelon of European competition. Where dreams can be made, fairytales are written and legends are born. With a competition that is steeped in history, it is common that we see plenty of records being broken year after year.

That doesn't mean all are so easy to topple. Kylian Mbappe would still have to score more than 90 goals to overtake Cristiano Ronaldo as the all-time record goalscorer. Not impossible, but certainly not probable.



The saying goes that records are made to be broken. But that sentiment doesn't apply to a very select few that are seemingly destined to stand the test of time. These ten in particular are going to take some beating should someone be looking to etch their names into the history books.

When you put into context that 10.12 is roughly the same amount of time it would take for you to watch a full 100m sprint race, you can really begin to appreciate just how difficult it is to score a goal that quickly into a football match. Let alone in the Champions League.

Let alone against Real Madrid. That's exactly what Dutchman Roy Makaay did in 2007. Capitalising on an innocuous mistake from Roberto Carlos at kick-off the forward slotted cooly past Iker Casillas to leave Los Blancos shocked.

Given the fact that only one other player has ever scored a goal within 20 seconds of this competition, this is a statistic that isn't going anywhere anytime soon. 12 goals. That is more goals than Darwin Nunez managed in either of his Premier League campai.
