Paris Saint-Germain&#8217;s Zlatan Ibrahimovi\u0107 equalled that total this season but sat out matchday six to head into the winter break one goal adrift of Ronaldo.<br \/>\n\u00a9AFP\/Getty Images<br \/>\nRonaldo, who came top of the pile last term \u2013 ending Lionel Messi&#8217;s four-season hegemony \u2013 needs to reach 15 to surpass the campaign-best recorded by his FC Barcelona rival in 2011\/12. Discount Messi at your peril, however, with the Argentina forward seemingly back on song after a brief absence through injury.<br \/>\nScoring goals for fun domestically are Manchester City FC, who have the likes of Sergio Ag\u00fcero and \u00c1lvaro Negredo pushing to catch Ronaldo, Ibrahimovi\u0107 and Messi. Beyond that, Club Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid will be looking to Diego Costa to maintain his fine form, while Ibrahimovi\u0107&#8217;s strike partner Edinson Cavani and Borussia Dortmund forward Robert Lewandowski could be seen as outside bets.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cristiano Ronaldo may have racked up a record-breaking group stage tally, but who will finish the 2013\/14 UEFA Champions League as top scorer?
