Top 5 teams to score the most goals in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16:

The UEFA Champions League Round of 16 is always an interesting round as top teams go up against each other through draws. The fixture congestion in various leagues also comes into the picture as the round is played in February and March.

However, here are the top 5 to score the most goals in the Round of 16:

5. Chelsea (England)- 38 goals

Chelsea have become one of the best teams in Europe this season under the German coach, Thomas Tuchel. The Blues are the current reigning champions of the UEFA Champions League as they won last season’s final 1-0 against Manchester City.

Chelsea have won the competition 2 times in it’s history and has been an ever present club in the competition since the mid 2000’s. The English club have reached the knockout stages frequently and have a good record in the competition.

However, it may come as surprise that Chelsea have scored the 5th most goals in the history of the Champions League Round of 16 with 38 goals to their name. They are currently ahead of other big clubs such as Manchester United and Arsenal, who have been playing in this competition long before Chelsea.

4. Juventus (Italy)- 38 goals

Juventus have a stellar record in the UEFA Champions League when it comes to appearances and goals scored. The Bianconeri have won the Champions League 2 times as well. But the Italian club have not had a great record in the competition in recent times.

Juventus have failed to win the competition since the turn of the century and have also been short of the mark in the latter stages. The Bianconeri have reached the knockout stages almost every season they have played in but not managed to win the competition for more than 20 years now.

However, Juventus have scored 38 goals in the Round of 16 of the Champions League and are the 4th in the top 5 list. They will certainly look to add more to that tally in this season’s Round of 16 in February and March.

3. Real Madrid (Spain)- 60 goals

Real Madrid are the most successful team in the history of the UEFA Champions League. The Los Blancos have won the title 13 times with their most recent win coming in the 2017/18 season. The Spanish club are considered to be the best club in the competition’s history.

Real Madrid have dominated the Champions League in recent times. The Los Blancos won three titles in three consecutive seasons, starting their run in 2015 and ending in 2018. The Spanish club also won the competition in 2014 too. Real Madrid have a rich history in the Champions League and are surely the best team in the competition’s history.

Real Madrid have scored 60 goals in the Round of 16 of the Champions League alone. That gets them to the 3rd spot in the all time high scorers in the history of the Round of 16 of the Champions League.

However, FC Barcelona have been one of the best clubs in the competition’s history. The Blaugrana have won the Champions League 5 times with their most recent win coming in 2014/15. Since then, the Spanish club have struggled in the knockout stages of the competition and been knocked out every single time.

FC Barcelona have scored 75 goals in the Round of 16 of the Champions League alone and sit 2nd in the all time high scorers in this Round’s history.

FC Bayern Munich have won the Champions League 6 times in it’s rich history and sit 3rd in the all time list of the clubs with the most Champions League titles. The German club last won the competition in 2019/20 when it played Paris Saint-Germain in the finals and won 1-0.

The Bavarians currently sit 1st in the all time high scorers of the Round of 16 of the Champions League with 87 goals their name. The German club will certainly look to add more to that list this year in February and March.
