LOSC Lille forward Yusuf Yazıcı and Benfica midfielder Pizzi are top of the UEFA Europa League scoring charts with seven goals – although neither player will be able to add to their totals as both their clubs bowed out in the round of 32.
Tottenham's Carlos Vinícius, on six, is best placed to overhaul the joint-leaders, while Paco Alcácer (Villarreal) and Borja Mayoral (Roma) are only one further behind.
