Cristiano Ronaldo leads the Uefa Champions League golden boot race after a gameweek six full of goals.

Ronaldo hit a brace in Real Madrid's 6-0 rout of Apoel Nicosia on Tuesday night to move on to eight goals after just five group games.

Nobody has scored more Champions League goals in 2017 than the Real Madrid star, who added two second-half strikes as the holders ran riot in Cyprus, and could have had even more had he not unselfishly laid on an open goal for Karim Benzema earlier in the match.

Ronaldo sits two goals ahead of Harry Kane, who added to his tally during Tottenham's 2-1 comeback win against Borussia Dortmund.

The Spurs star is joined on six strikes by Sevilla's Wissam Ben Yedder, who netted a brace in the Spanish club's stunning 3-3 comeback draw against Liverpool after being three goals down inside 22 minutes.

Paris Saint Germain's 7-1 drubbing of Celtic on Wednesday night also saw Neymar and Edinson Cavani move on to six goals apiece for the campaign.
