bet365’s Trading and Sports expert Steve Freeth said: “Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe, and Harry Kane have monopolized the UEFA Champions League goal charts over the last few seasons.
“The trio fill three of the top four spots in the 2024/25 betting heat as they look to continue their domination in the way that Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo used to do.”

UEFA Champions League top goalscorer favourites
Harry Kane
Among the pre-tournament favorites, Harry Kane cemented his place at the top of the standings with four goals on Matchweek 1 in Bayern Munich’s 9-2 thrashing of Dinamo Zagreb, adding a fifth against Barcelona.
Kane finished as joint-top scorer in last season’s competition alongside Kylian Mbappe with eight goals. Already past halfway to that total with more games in store this season, don’t be surprised to see the ex-Tottenham man reach double figures.
Erling Haaland
With only one goal from Manchester City’s first two games, it felt like a matter of time before Erling Haaland explodes into this season’s UEFA Champions League. The Norwegian did just that – and in some style – scoring with an acrobatic back-heel against Sparta Prague, scoring two on the night to take his tally to three for the season.
While Haaland will likely be rested for some more important fixtures, he should still see more minutes against the likes of Feyenoord and Club Brugge at home, with more goals a matter of when rather than if.
Vinicius Jr
Although questions remain around the suitability of Vinicius Jr and Kylian Mbappe playing together, the Brazilian star has fired himself up the top goalscorer standings with a hat-trick against Borussia Dortmund.
Real Madrid were trailing 2-0 at home to last year’s beaten finalists heading into the final half hour before Antonio Rudiger pulled one back, with Vinicius scoring in the 62nd, 86th, and 93rd minutes to secure an unlikely win.
Kylian Mbappe
While Kylian Mbappe has yet to dominate the European scene like he has the international scene, he’s still been an impressively consistent goalscorer in the UEFA Champions League.
The former PSG man scored 42 goals in 64 games, never managing less than four, albeit never reaching more than eight.
Much was expected of Mbappe following his move to Real Madrid, but his inauspicious start to life in the Spanish capital may mean there’s more value in his rivals.
