Champions League top scorers: Five-goal Harry Kane leads the way

Harry Kane, who finished UEFA Champions League joint top scorer last season, is the 2024/25 pacesetter, too. The Bayern München striker remains out on his own after finding the net in defeat at Barcelona on Matchday 3 to take his league phase tally to five goals. He opened his account for the season with a four-goal haul against GNK Dinamo on Matchday 1.

Raphinha is the only player one behind Kane after responding to the England striker's equaliser for Bayern with goals two and three of his own treble as Barça ran out 4-1 winners against their Bundesliga opponents.

Real Madrid's Vinícius Júnior is one of 12 players one goal further back after also registering a hat-trick in Real Madrid's 5-2 victory against Borussia Dortmund on the Tuesday of Matchday 3.
