The 2025/26 Champions League has been a successful tournament for Premier League clubs. Out of six teams that entered the league phase, five reached the top eight.
Newcastle United also triumphed, defeating Qarabag with a total score of 9-3 in the playoffs to advance to the knockout rounds.
This article will explore which Premier League players have scored the most goals in the Champions League this season, featuring talents from Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City. Who will take the lead?
Dominik Szoboszlai
Dominik Szoboszlai has surprised many, scoring four Champions League goals this season while primarily playing as a central midfielder and right-back.
He has participated in eight Champions League matches, contributing in all but one, where he played as a right-back.
In addition to his four goals, Szoboszlai has also provided four assists this season.
Harvey Barnes
Harvey Barnes has performed better in the Champions League than in the Premier League this season.
Currently, he has scored five goals and made three assists in ten Champions League matches during the 2025/26 season.
After playing in the playoffs against Qarabag, Barnes has had a few more appearances than many of his counterparts, but his goal count is impressive.
Gabriel Martinelli
Gabriel Martinelli has managed just one goal in the Premier League this season but shines in Europe.
The Brazilian has scored six times in seven Champions League games, boasting an excellent goals-to-games ratio.
He has outperformed players like Julian Alvarez, Lautaro Martinez, and Marcus Rashford in the Champions League this season. The question remains: how can he convert this success back to the Premier League?
Erling Haaland
Erling Haaland’s status as one of the best strikers in the world makes it no surprise he is among the top Champions League scorers.
He has scored seven goals in eight matches, trailing only three players in the overall competition for 2025/26.
Haaland has also excelled in the Premier League, netting 22 goals so far this season.
Anthony Gordon
While Anthony Gordon has yet to find the net in the Premier League, he has been prolific in the Champions League.
The former Everton player has scored ten goals in the tournament this season, including four in one match during the Qarabag playoff.
Despite some criticism regarding his place in Thomas Tuchel’s England squad, his strong performances in the Champions League deserve recognition.
