How Europe's goalscoring race ended in 2025/26
The 2025/26 season confirmed Harry Kane as the most lethal striker on the continent. The England forward at Bayern Munich scored 33 Bundesliga goals, which also put him top of the European Golden Shoe (66 points), as in 2023/24.
Behind him, Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid) and Erling Haaland (Manchester City) finished level on 24 goals in the fight for second place on the continent. The big surprise is Thiago of Brentford, whose 22 goals break him into the elite and prove that scoring is no longer the preserve of the giant clubs.
The ranking reflects Europe's goalscoring spread: La Liga contributes Mbappé, Muriqi and Yamal; the Bundesliga Kane, Undav and Schick; the Premier League Haaland and Thiago; and Serie A Lautaro Martínez. To crown the single top scorer of the continent, the European Golden Boot comes into play, weighting goals by the difficulty of each league.
