Champions League top scorer: Nicolò Tresoldi

Club Brugge forward Nicolò Tresoldi is the new UEFA Champions League top scorer after his stunning hat-trick against Inter on Matchday 2 moved him onto four goals in total.

Tresoldi had already opened his account for the campaign with a penalty in the Matchday 1 defeat against Aston Villa, but he truly grabbed the headlines at Stadio San Siro, netting a superb hat-trick in the country of his birth to storm to the top of the scoring charts.

Three players lie just behind Tresoldi. Stuttgart's Ermedin Demirović struck three times in the space of 13 minutes against Viking on 9 September to claim the first hat-trick of the season, which Ferran Torres followed up with the second a few hours later in his first Champions League outing for Paris against Slovan Bratislava.

Bayern München's Harry Kane is also on three, having struck once against Bodø/Glimt on Matchday 1 and twice against Viking on Matchday 2 to make it nine consecutive Champions League games in which he has found the net.

Most assists in the 2026/27 Champions League

Lamine Yamal leads the way with two assists in each of Barcelona's two games so far, while he also scored on Matchday 1. Club Brugge winger Carlos Forbs is one behind with three assists.
