Kylian Mbappé is expected to finish as the top scorer in the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League, having scored 15 goals in 11 appearances for Real Madrid. He set a new record by netting 13 goals in the seven league phase matches, including doubles against Marseille, Monaco, and Benfica, a hat-trick against Kairat Almaty, and four goals in a 4-3 victory over Olympiacos. His hat-trick in Greece came within seven minutes, the second-fastest in competition history. Despite missing two knockout phase games due to a knee injury, Mbappé added two goals in the quarter-finals before Real Madrid was eliminated by Bayern München.
Harry Kane, who shared the top scorer award with Mbappé last season, finished with 14 goals this season. He scored in the semi-final second leg against Paris Saint-Germain and became the first English player to reach 50 Champions League goals. After Bayern's elimination, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia remains Mbappé's closest active rival with 10 goals.
In assists, Michael Olise of Bayern München and Vinícius Júnior of Real Madrid are tied with eight each. Other key assist providers include Achraf Hakimi and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia with six, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Antoine Griezmann, and Leandro Trossard with five each.
This season saw eight hat-tricks in the Champions League, including two by Mbappé—fewer than the 12 from last season. However, there have been more hat-tricks in the knockout phase, with three compared to last year’s two. Other players achieving hat-tricks include Fermín López, Victor Osimhen, Vitinha, Anthony Gordon, Alexander Sørloth, and Federico Valverde.
