The race to be crowned Champions League top scorer

The eight teams to have made the Champions League quarter-final stage are now confirmed.

As the competition enters its latter stages, the race to be crowned top scorer is also hotting up as the world's most lethal forwards compete.

We run through the favourites to see who is in the mix.

Erling Haaland continued his miraculous scoring feats when netting five goals against RB Leipzig in Manchester City's 7-0 second-leg victory.

Records continue to tumble for the Norwegian sensation who became the quickest and youngest player to notch 30 times in the competition, taking only 25 games at the age of 22 years and 236 days.

He has scored 10 goals in the Champions League this season, the most by a City player in a single season in the competition and became only the third player to score five goals in a single game in Europe's top tier after Luiz Adriano and Lionel Messi.

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has been on fire this season and scored his eighth goal in just seven matches to hand his side a 2-0 lead over Real Madrid in the first leg of their last-16 showdown.

Unfortunately for the Egyptian, the Reds went on to lose 5-2 at Anfield and were knocked out after a 1-0 defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu.

World Cup Golden Boot winner Kylian Mbappe has enjoyed a prolific campaign but will not land the coveted crown.

The Frenchman could not inspire his side past Bayern Munich in the last 16 and finishes on a respectable seven goals from eight outings.

Vinicius Junior struck twice against Liverpool in a huge boost to his chances of personal and team glory.

Despite a disappointing season in LaLiga, Los Blancos will fancy their chances of going all the way in Europe and the Brazilian could emerge as the continent's foremost goalscorer if they do.

Joao Mario scored in both legs as Benfica breezed past Club Brugge in the last 16 — equalling the great Eusebio's club record of scoring in five consecutive European games.

He now has a chance to eclipse the icon in the quarter-finals.
