Paris forward Zlatan Ibrahimović has become just the 14th player to score 50 or more goals in UEFA club competition*.
Ibrahimović, who is the only player to have registered for six different clubs in the UEFA Champions League, scored his first UEFA club goal in September 2001, in a 2-0 victory for Ajax against Apollon Limassol in the UEFA Cup first round.
The Swedish international reached his half-century in Paris's round of 16 second leg at Chelsea on Wednesday night. He remains some way adrift of Real Madrid talisman Cristiano Ronaldo, however, who leads the way with 93 goals after striking against Roma on Tuesday.
