Women's Champions League top scorers: Alessia Russo clear of Pernille Harder, Evelyne Viens, Caroline Weir

Alessia Russo of Arsenal has moved two goals clear in the race to finish as the 2025/26 UEFA Women's Champions League top scorer after increasing her tally to seven goals, putting her ahead of Bayern München's Pernille Harder, Roma's Evelyne Viens and Real Madrid's Caroline Weir.

2025/26 Women's Champions League top scorers (league phase onwards)

7 Alessia Russo (Arsenal)

5 Pernille Harder (Bayern München)
5 Evelyne Viens (Roma)
5 Caroline Weir (Real Madrid)

4 Lineth Beerensteyn (Wolfsburg)
4 Melchie Dumornay (OL Lyonnes)
4 Fiamma (Atlético de Madrid)
4 Ewa Pajor (Barcelona)

Russo started the season with goals on the opening matchdays against OL Lyonnes and Benfica, and she added two more in a 2-1 comeback win against Madrid. The England forward then came off the bench to strike in Arsenal's knockout phase play-off opener at OH Leuven, and got two more a week later to match her 2024/25 competition tally of seven.

Harder and Viens led after the league phase, though with Harder's Bayern automatically through to the quarter-finals and Viens' Roma eliminated, that gave other players to chance to catch them. And while Russo surged ahead thanks to her play-off efforts against Leuven, Weir boosted her own haul in Madrid's tie against Paris FC.

Of the four players on four goals, Fiamma and Beerensteyn are both competing in the knockout phase play-offs, with their teams in action on Thursday.
