Who is the top scorer in the Champions League 2023/24?

It’s fair to say that this season’s Champions League knockout stage is proving to be rather a special one when it comes to goals and excitement. Take the first legs of the quarter-finals, for instance, where we watched on, eyes wide open, as they went into the record books with the joint record number of collective goals, with 18 goals across the four matches. That equalled the record set in 2011.

As the first pair of second legs came to a close, we had more goals galore – Barcelona 1-4 PSG and Dortmund 4-2 Atlético (both Spanish teams going out on aggregate) – and two matches still to come (games, it should be noted, which added 10 to the total in the first encounters). So to the individuals who made those contributions.

Who has scored the most goals in the 2023/24 Champions League?

Here is the list of top scorers following Tuesday night’s action, with Kylian Mbappé's brace against Barcelona taking him above Harry Kane at the summit by a single goal. But Kane, as well as Erling Haaland who is one behind the Englishman, are expected to be playing on Wednesday for Bayern Munich and Manchester City respectively.

Who is the top assist maker in the 2023/24 Champions League?

As of Tuesday, Dortmund’s Marcel Sabitzer leads the way on five, but the likes of Jude Bellingham, Vinícius Jr (both Madrid) and Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) sit just one behind, with games ahead.
