Champions League top scorers 2023/24: Antoine Griezmann, Erling ...

14 Dec 2023
UEFA Champions League

Antoine Griezmann, Erling Haaland, Rasmus Højlund and Álvaro Morata lead the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League top scorers race after the conclusion of the group stage.

Griezmann was the only one of those four players to find the net on Matchday 6, scoring in a 2-0 home win against Lazio to join his Atlético de Madrid team-mate Morata plus Haaland and Højlund at the top of the scoring charts.

Haaland became the fastest and youngest player to 40 goals in the competition on Matchday 5, his strike against Leipzig taking him on to five efforts for the season. The Norwegian striker failed to find the net in his first two Champions League games of 2023/24, making it five matches without a goal in the competition, but now has five in his last three outings; he sat out Matchday 6.

Højlund registered doubles at home to Galatasaray and away to Copenhagen, plus a goal at Bayern, but all ended in defeat as Manchester United's European ambitions failed to extend past the group stage. By contrast, Morata's five goals helped Atlético seal progress to the knockout phase.

Eight players are on four goals, including Evanilson, scorer of the first hat-trick of this season's competition against Antwerp on Matchday 3, and his Porto team-mate Galeno, who scored twice in both matches against Shakhtar. Leipzig's Loïs Openda, Haaland's club-mate Julián Álvarez, Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus, Madrid's Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane of Bayern and Shakhtar's Danylo Sikan also have four goals to their name.

The leading pack are followed by 11 players on three goals: João Félix, Phil Foden, Ciro Immobile, Joselu, Lukas Lerager, Kylian Mbappé, Brais Méndez, Rodrygo, Bukayo Saka, Ferran Torres and João Mário, who scored the second hat-trick in this season's competition on Matchday 5.
