IN THE Champions League top scorer markets, it's no surprise to see last season's winner Cristiano Ronaldo as the favourite to repeat the feat.
The Manchester United star netted eight times throughout their successful European campaign - two clear of his nearest rivals.
The big question this year is can he keep up his sensational record in front of goal? Or, indeed, will he need to?
With the Portuguese winger's injury ruling him out for the start of the season, the Red Devils were in desperate need of a big summer signing and at long last they finally got their man - Dimitar Berbatov.
The former Tottenham favourite, who is no stranger to the European scene, will spearhead United's quest for back-to-back Champions League titles.
In last season's Uefa Cup he scored five times despite Spurs being knocked out of the competition in the last 16 and of course this time there's the distinct possibility of plenty more matches.
If Berbatov produces the same kind of quality we've grown accustomed to, there's a chance Ronaldo won't be so urgently forcing his way onto the scoresheet like he had to last year and that's why we're siding with the Bulgarian.
Another leading candidate is Fernando Torres, but while there is no doubting the Spaniard's talents, Liverpool's group is tough and it's asking a lot for them to go quite as far as United.
Real Madrid poacher Ruud van Nistelrooy is also up there in the betting, as are the Barcelona duo of Lionel Messi and Samuel Eto'o.
