Who are the top 5 goal machines in history at Europe's biggest clubs?

Greatness: Frank Lampard lets it sink in after he became Chelsea's greatest ever goal scorer

Sports4G has compiled a list of the top five all-time scorers at the biggest clubs across Europe.
Rather surprisingly, AC Milan legend Andriy Shevchenko is beaten to the top spot of their all-time scorers by Swede Gunnar Nordahl, who netted almost 100 more goals than him.
Kenny Dalglish (172) and Michael Owen (158) have been edged out of Liverpool's top five by Robbie Fowler.
And it seems inconceivable that Wayne Rooney won't go on to beat Sir Bobby Charlton's 249 United goals record sitting fourth only 48 behind.
