Champions League top scorer: Ermedin Demirović, Serhou Guirassy, Erling Haaland, Nicolò Tresoldi

There is a four-way tie at the head of the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League top scorer race, with Ermedin Demirović, Serhou Guirassy, Erling Haaland and Nicolò Tresoldi all registering four apiece.

Club Brugge forward Nicolò Tresoldi opened his account for the campaign with a penalty in the Matchday 1 defeat by Aston Villa, but he truly grabbed the headlines at Inter, netting a superb hat-trick in the country of his birth.

Stuttgart's Ermedin Demirović also has a hat-trick to his name, at home to Viking on Matchday 1, and was also on target next time out before drawing a blank in the 1-1 draw with Atleti.

Erling Haaland registered doubles in Manchester City's first two outings but sat out Matchday 3 while Serhou Guirassy, joint-top scorer in 2024/25, has doubles against Villarreal and Sabah to his name.

There are eight players on three goals apiece, including Bradley Barcola, Ferran Torres and Phil Foden, all scorers of hat-tricks. Harry Kane, Ousmane Dembélé, Nicolas Jackson, Alexis Mac Allister and Donyell Malen are all in the chasing pack.
