Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has overtaken Erling Haaland and Victor Osimhen in the race for the UEFA Champions League Golden Boot. The England captain delivered a match-winning performance on Wednesday, netting twice in a 2-0 victory over Union Saint-Gilloise.
This double strike brings Kane’s continental tally to seven goals for the season, moving him ahead of Manchester City’s Haaland and Galatasaray’s Osimhen, both of whom currently sit on six goals.
While Kane’s recent surge strengthens his position among Europe’s elite, he still trails Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe in the overall standings. The French forward remains the undisputed leader of the scoring charts with 11 goals following his own spectacular midweek performance. Despite the gap at the top, Kane’s clinical form has been instrumental in securing Bayern Munich’s progression to the next phase of the tournament.
The race for the top scorer title remains highly competitive as the league phase concludes. Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon has also joined the chasing pack, matching the six-goal totals of Haaland and Osimhen. With the knockout rounds approaching, football fans expect an intense battle between these high-profile forwards as they aim to catch Mbappe’s record-equaling haul.
The current UEFA Champions League top scorer standings are as follows:
11 goals – Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid)
7 goals – Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)
6 goals – Anthony Gordon (Newcastle), Erling Haaland (Manchester City) and Victor Osimhen (Galatasaray)
