After the elimination of FC Barcelona, Sevilla and Atlético de Madrid in the group stage, another season ends where Real Madrid is the only team that manages to survive in the highest European competition. Despite some surprises like those provided by Villarreal last season and Madrid’s European exploits, Spanish football is not going through its best moment in the Champions League. But who have been the top scorers to pierce the net of the Spanish teams?
