The Ranking of Europe’s Top Goal Scorers

This Monday marks the ninth update of the European top scorers’ standings this season. After the international break, the leading goal scorers from Germany, England, Austria, Belgium, Scotland, Spain, France, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Switzerland, and Turkey are back in action. At the top, there have been changes, with Harry Kane regaining his lead following his goal in Bayern Munich’s commanding 6-2 victory over Freiburg this weekend. The English striker has now scored 14 goals in 11 matches.

Trailing behind Kane, Erling Haaland has lost ground after failing to score in Manchester City’s 2-1 defeat to Newcastle, leaving him with 14 goals in 12 games. In fourth place, Kylian Mbappé is still behind the rising star Ayase Ueda. The Japanese striker boasts 13 goals in 13 matches and closely follows the Real Madrid forward, but Ueda has a slight edge with a superior goal-to-minute ratio, playing just 67 fewer minutes.

Ueda Remains in the Spotlight, Greenwood Enters Top Five

Mason Greenwood secures a spot in the top five after scoring twice during Olympique de Marseille’s 6-1 win over Nice, bringing his total to 10 goals this season in 12 matches. He now surpasses Aleksey Batrakov of Lokomotiv Moscow, who was unable to add to his total of 10 goals in 15 appearances after a draw against Krasnodar this weekend. Following them, Morocco’s Ayoub El Kaabi takes seventh place with his 11th goal against Atromitos, moving ahead of Vangelis Pavlidis, who scored in the Cup but remains on 9 league goals.

In ninth place, Brentford striker Igor Thiago re-enters the rankings with a penalty scored despite his team’s loss to Brighton. Finally, Chris Bédia from Young Boys Bern makes his debut in the top ten, netting his ninth goal against Winterthur in a 5-0 victory this weekend. With more game time, he surpasses Guus Till from PSV and Joaquín Panichelli from Strasbourg, who has been quiet for three league games. Christian Fassnacht (Young Boys Bern) and Mirlind Daku (Rubin Kazan) are also equal on nine goals, outperforming Pedro Gonçalves (Sporting), Esteban Lepaul (Stade Rennais), Ismael Saibari (PSV), Jonathan Burkardt (Eintracht Frankfurt), and Robert Lewandowski (FC Barcelona), all with eight goals.
