Most assists in the history of the CL:
1. Ronaldo 31
2. Giggs 30
3. Messi 24
Just a goalscorer.

Also the question is a decline from what? There's a massive range of possibilities between peak Ronaldo and crap. He's still an excellent attacker even though he falls short of his peak powers.Was fantastic last night, all this decline talk is way to early.
I knew as soon as Messi had a bad game he was going to react. I think Ronaldo would be phenomenal if he just played directly after Messi every week.Had a throwback game yesterday, one of his best this season. Too bad he missed those two chances, but otherwise i wish he could always play like that

Selfish bastard
Where do you get your count from?I'm guessing there's a cut-off point somewhere around the early or mid-2000s for these so-called 'all-time' stats because Giggs has at least 40 CL assists. Hell, even Cristiano has 34 assists (not 31) by my count. Also, Messi 25, Ibra 25 and Özil 23. Beckham also at least 23 at Utd alone.
He must have had 12 in 1999 alone.wth according to statbunker Becks only has 12 assists in UCL ? That cant be right ?
My own research based on footage of the games. I use the strict (Opta) definition of an assist, so I don't count winning freekicks or penalties, rebounds, own-goals or clearly deflected passes.Where do you get your count from?
Hmm interesting, if you don't count all of that and have these players on higher assists, that's quite interesting where these stats come from.My own research based on footage of the games.

How you can like and defend Rooney with comments like this one is beyond me.He was just awful and gets his standard dodgy pen to boost the stats. Great header for the goal though.

I'm sorry but I defend players who still play for United and not those who left years ago.How you can like and defend Rooney with comments like this one is beyond me.
POTY coming upSeems like he scores a penalty in every single game he plays.

So you admit your arguements are completely void of objectivity?I'm sorry but I defend players who still play for United and not those who left years ago.
