Harry Kane celebrated a milestone this week after scoring his 50th goal in the Champions League.

Kane reached 50 goals in the competition after a double inBayern Munich's 4-1 win over Atalanta, as the German champions eased into the quarter-finals.

The fastest players to reach 50 Champions League goals

5. Robert Lewandoski - 77 games

The Polish forward is one of just three players to have scored over 100 Champions League goals, alongside Cristiano Ronaldo andLionel Messi.

Lewandowski burst onto the scene atBorussia Dortmund with a key role in the club's run to the 2012-13 final, which included an unforgettable four-goal performance against Real Madrid in the semi-finals.

One of European football's greatest-ever goalscorers, Lewandowski's total currently stands at 109 goals in the Champions League, after glittering spells with Dortmund, Bayern Munich, andBarcelona.

=3. Harry Kane - 66 games

Harry Kane has taken just 66 games to reach 50 goals in the Champions League. He's become only the 12th player to reach a half-century in the competition and the first Englishman to achieve the feat.

His record since leavingTottenham Hotspur for Bayern Munich is frightening, with 29 goals in 34 European games.

=3. Lionel Messi - 66 games

Lionel Messi ranks alongside Kane in third, after also reaching 50 goals in 66 games.

Messi's career is littered with magical Champions League moments, including a four-goal destruction of Arsenal and five-goal display to sink Bayer Leverkusen.

He's also scored in two finals, netting in Barcelona's 2009 and2011 wins against Manchester United.

Ruud van Nistelrooy once reigned as the Champions League's premier marksman.

The Dutchman was the competition's leading scorer three times in four seasons between 2002 and 2005, during a goal-laden period at Manchester United.

His goal-per-game ratio in the Champions League is equal to both Cristiano Ronaldo andRobert Lewandowski.

An alien.

Erling Haaland has made the Champions League his personal playground, with a hat-trick on debut for Red Bull Salzburg a sign of things to come.

Haaland has since scored 58 goals in 59 games in the Champions League, culminating in European success withManchester City
