Mohamed Salah embarrasses Liverpool

Like every Monday, here is your edition of the ranking of the top scorers in Europe this season. For this thirteenth report of the year, we still find the scorers who shook the nets in Germany, England, Austria, Belgium, Scotland, Spain, France, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Switzerland, Turkey and Ukraine. Scorer last week against Boavista, Viktor Gyökeres was unable to continue this weekend with Sporting CP in the goalless draw against Gil Vicente (0-0).

Despite his inability to score, the Swedish striker remains first in this ranking. The Scandinavian is still closely followed by Robert Lewandowski. Author of a more than disappointing performance against Atlético de Madrid (1-2), the Pole could have made the nets shake on many occasions but was sorely lacking in realism. The 36-year-old striker nevertheless remains second.

Mohamed Salah climbs onto the podium

But now, the former Bayern Munich man is no longer followed by Manfred Ugalde. While the Russian championship is in winter break until March, the 23-year-old scorer was overtaken by Mohamed Salah. Brilliant this season, the Egyptian distinguished himself again with a double against Tottenham this Sunday (3-6). A performance which allows him to climb to third place in this ranking. Now followed by the Costa Rican striker from Spartak Moscow, Mohamed Salah has also overtaken Harry Kane.

Silent this weekend during his team’s big victory against Leipzig (5-1), the Englishman therefore fell to fifth place but still has one goal more than his Bundesliga competitor, Omar Marmoush. The other Egyptian in this ranking was unable to score this weekend during the defeat against Mainz (1-3). A complicated pass also for Erling Haaland and Manchester City. Unable to carry his team during the setback against Aston Villa, the Norwegian cyborg confirms his current difficulties and is standing still in this ranking with 13 goals.

Movement to be expected in the coming weeks

Finally, the same trio as last week closes this ranking. Having failed to find the net this weekend, Sem Steijn, Mateo Retegui and Kasper Dolberg close this ranking with still 12 league goals. Author of a hat-trick this weekend with Villarreal, Thierno Barry has established himself as a credible candidate to join this record in the coming weeks with already 12 goals to his credit. The Lyon native has too many matches to be included this week.

Mika Biereth (Sturm Graz), Raphinha (FC Barcelona), Samu Aghehowa Omorodion (FC Porto), Toluwalase Arokodare (Genk), Adriano Bertaccini (Saint-Truiden), Ayoub El Kaabi (Olympiakos), Ronivaldo (Blau-Weiss Linz), Jonathan David (Lille OSC), Derek Kutesa (Servette), Marcus Thuram (Inter Milan), Cole Palmer (Chelsea) follow with 11 goals, but fail to reach the top 10. Ante Budimir (Osasuna), Jefté Betancor (Panserraikos), Chris Wood (Nottingham Forest), Bradley Barcola (Paris Saint-Germain), Troy Parrott (Alkmaar), Jonathan Burkardt (Mainz) , Ricardo Pepi (PSV Eindhoven), Krzysztof Piatek (Istanbul Basaksehir), Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford), Mason Greenwood (Olympique de Marseille), Kevin Denkey (Cercle Bruges) and Aleksey Batrakov (Lokomotiv Moscow) have scored 10 goals and are in ambush.
