The ranking of European top scorers

It’s time for the twenty-third score of the season for the Old Continent’s top scorers. As you are used to, this ranking includes the scorers who scored in Germany, England, Austria, Belgium, Scotland, Spain, France, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Switzerland and Turkey. In this new report, only one player was able to enter the top 10 to the detriment of Olympiacos player, Ayoub El Kaabi.

This is the German Deniz Undav. Thanks to his double (+ an assist) scored against Augsburg, the Stuttgart player ranks in ninth place, just ahead of the Kosovar from Mallorca, Vedat Muriqi, stuck at 18 goals. Besides Muriqi, several residents of this top 10 failed to find the net, namely Ueda, Haaland (who played and won the Carabao Cup final against Arsenal), Onuachu, Pavlidis and a certain Kylian Mbappé.

Mbappé loses a place

Entering the match during the Madrid derby, the Merengues striker only played 26 minutes. Enough to be tackled by a Spanish press exasperated by his behavior. Silent, the captain of the France team even saw one of his competitors steal second place from him: the Colombian serial scorer from Sporting Portugal, Luis Suarez.

Thanks to his goal scored against Alverca, the South American is now one step ahead of Mbappé, but still remains far from the leader of the ranking. Scorer last Saturday against Union Berlin, the Englishman now has 31 goals on the clock, seven more than his first pursuer. Finally, note that Brentford’s Brazilian striker, Igor Thiago, moved up a place (8th).
