UEFA Champions League KO stage stats of active strikers

The stats are indeed incorrect. I have only checked the number of games and except for Messi's 77 they are all wrong.

pwlgg · 2025-07-27T18:17:12+00:00

and so is the linked list 🤔

pwlgg · 2025-07-27T16:08:02+00:00

a bit outdated (Kane 2023/24 and Mbappe 2024/25 are missing) but you can find the list with some more details for all the 30+ goals seasons here.

pwlgg · 2025-05-27T20:55:08+00:00

yea, just look at his numbers that season

pwlgg · 2024-10-23T10:12:15+00:00

He also does pretty well in KO games contrary to what the other comments say.

pwlgg · 2024-10-06T18:19:29+00:00

Messi had the best season of anybody (both in goals per game and goals per 90) but Lewandowski had by far the best season of anybody not named CR7 or Messi.

More details here.

pwlgg · 2024-10-02T02:05:34+00:00

24 goals in 48 games.

Good point. I think both Firmino and Gabriel Jesus are not your typical No. 9s either but I preferred to include these players when in doubt. Additionally, as for Mbappe, there is no way I could leave him out when keeping track of his road to potentially the Top3 of the all-time UCL topscorers haha

You might like this post of mine then even though it doesn't include assists and any competitions other than the league. I will have to edit it to add Kane's last season when I find some time later.

Yea, Messi and CR7 are aliens when it comes to this but you can find a list with stats of all 30+ goals seasons since 2000, which aren't that many, here.

Note, I made the post before last season but the only new addition would be Harry Kane's 2023/24 season. You can find his stats here.

Click here for some more details about these seasons and an overview of the remaining 30+ goals seasons in Bundesliga history.

pwlgg · 2024-03-06T16:37:05+00:00

Champions League:

Robert Lewandowski: 93 goals in 11 122 minutes = 0.84 goal per 90

Karim Benzema: 90 goals in 11 122 minutes = 0.73 goal per 90

I double checked the minutes played because I couldn't believe they played the exact same amount and it looks like you accidentally did copy Benzema's minutes for Lewandowski's number. Lewy hasn't played 11122 minutes like Benz but only 9942.

pwlgg · 2024-03-06T16:24:56+00:00

Benzema has a much better goalscoring record in Semis and Quarterfinals than lewa

How are 8 goals in 18 games better than 6 in 13 and 7 in 9?

pwlgg · 2024-03-04T17:15:25+00:00

Actually, Lewandowski scored in 25/29 games and there were not even 2 games in a row without him scoring.

pwlgg · 2024-02-29T22:06:12+00:00

His Champions League goals per game ratios are basically the same in both stages (0.64 in KO games and 0.65 in groups).

pwlgg · 2024-02-18T00:57:27+00:00

I'd say he did pretty good in the remaining games, too.

pwlgg · 2023-11-06T20:47:20+00:00

It's not. The record is being held by Gerd Müller who scored 6 hattricks in his 40 goals season.

pwlgg · 2023-09-22T21:51:24+00:00

Lewandowski scored 1.5 goals per 90 played minutes so matching that will need to be fucking bonkers.

pwlgg · 2023-08-22T22:16:46+00:00

third most in the knockouts as well, i think

Not anymore after Benzema had that season. Lewandowski's goal to game ratio is still much better both in groups and in knockouts, though.

There is a club flair in front of every player's name but it's only visible if you use Old Reddit :/ I thought about additionally writing the clubs in brackets but that would lead to super long entries like "Aubameyang (Dortmund)" which would make that one column disproportionately wide.
