UEFA has released a video compilation featuring the goals of every Champions League top scorer from the 2019/20 season through 2025/26 [1].
The collection serves as a historical record of the most prolific strikers in European football over the last seven years. By highlighting the decisive goals that secured the Golden Boot, the video underscores the shift in dominance among elite forwards during this era.
Kylian Mbappé appears prominently in the footage, having secured the top scorer title for the 2025/26 season [1], [2] as well as the 2023/24 season [1]. The compilation also tracks the rise of Erling Haaland, who finished as the top scorer in both the 2020/21 and 2022/23 campaigns [1].
Other featured players include Robert Lewandowski, who led the scoring in 2019/20, and Karim Benzema, the top scorer for 2021/22 [1]. The 2024/25 season saw Raphinha claim the top spot [1].
Beyond the primary winners, the video highlights key competitors who pushed the pace of the race. For example, the footage includes goals from Serhou Guirassy, who was the second-place scorer in 2024/25 [1], and Harry Kane, who finished second in the 2023/24 season [1].
UEFA said it produced the content to showcase the technical skill of the players and promote official tournament archives [1]. The sequence provides a visual timeline of the tournament's most clinical finishers across Europe's premier club competition.
“Kylian Mbappé secured the top scorer title for the 2025/26 season”
The compilation reflects a transitional period in European football where established veterans like Robert Lewandowski and Karim Benzema gave way to a new generation led by Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland. The inclusion of players like Raphinha and Serhou Guirassy indicates a diversifying range of scoring threats across different clubs, moving away from a period where one or two dominant teams controlled the scoring charts.
