Real Madrid’s Vinícius Júnior and Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise have surged to the top of the UEFA Champions League assist leaderboard, recording six each following the final group stage fixtures on Wednesday. The dynamic duo currently outpaces several of Europe’s most creative forces, including Marseille striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai.
While Vinícius helped propel the defending champions through a competitive league phase, Olise’s immediate impact since his summer move to Bavaria has made him a standout performer in Vincent Kompany’s attacking system.
Marseille’s Aubameyang remains a close challenger with five assists, while Szoboszlai and Real Madrid’s rising star Arda Güler follow closely with four each. The competitive landscape for the tournament’s most creative player also features a dense pack of talent with three assists, including Juventus’s Kenan Yıldız and PSV’s Guus Til. These statistics cement the dominance of Europe’s elite clubs as they transition into the high-stakes knockout rounds starting in February.
The official rankings for the most assists in the Champions League so far include:
Michael Olise (Bayern Munich) and Vinícius Júnior (Real Madrid) currently occupy the top spot with 6 assists each. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Marseille) sits just behind with 5 assists.
