Kylian Mbappé leads the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League top scorer race with 15 goals in 11 appearances, including two in the knockout phase. He set a record with 13 goals during the league phase and registered two hat-tricks, one as the second-fastest in competition history. Mbappé scored from both penalties and open play, helping Real Madrid reach the quarter-finals before being eliminated by Bayern München.
Bayern’s Harry Kane is close behind with 13 goals, having scored in both legs against Real Madrid in the quarter-finals and opening the scoring in the semi-final first leg against Paris Saint-Germain. Kane may have additional matches to close the gap and has surpassed his previous best single-season Champions League tally.
Other notable scorers this season include Julián Alvarez, Anthony Gordon, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, each with 10 goals. Assists were led by Michael Olise of Bayern München and Vinícius Júnior of Real Madrid, both with 8.
This season saw eight hat-tricks, two by Mbappé. While fewer than the previous season’s 12 hat-tricks, the knockout stage featured three trebles compared to two in the prior season.
