Top four favourites for UEFA Champions League Golden Boot
The UEFA Champions League is well underway, and the competition is once again filled with superstars. From Erling Haaland to Lamine Yamal, the talent is stacked and the goals always flow.
So many teams want to go the distance in the tournament but those without a top goal scorer won’t get that far. Having a potential golden boot winner is one of the keys to going far, and maybe even winning it all.
Goal scorers will be as important as ever but think you can predict Champions League? UCL predictions will give you the tips to help you win big.
Erling Haaland – 9/2
Since first playing in the Champions League, Erling Haaland has never gone a season without scoring in it. The 25-year-old scored eight in the competition last year, trying to beat his highest total, 12, when Manchester City won the Champions League that season.
The Norwegian superstar is known for his performances in the competition and will know his goals could carry his team to glory.
Harry Kane – 9/2
The newly crowned Ballon d’Or, Harry Kane lands on the same odds as his counterpart Kane. The 33-year-old is still at the top of his game and looking to guide his team to two better than just a semi-final appearance.
Last season, Kane got up to 14 goals, this season, the forward is already on four after the same number of games, If Bayern Munich are going to finally get their hands on the Champions League again, they will need a fully-firing Harry Kane.
Kylian Mbappe – 11/2
Real Madrid’s poster boy and one of the Ballon d’Or’s runner ups, Kylian Mbappe will be fighting his way to the golden boot.
This season, the Madrid side are under the guidance of Jose Mourinho as they look to return to the pinnacle of European football. To do just that, they will need Mbappe at the top of his game.
The 27-year-old netted 15 Champions League goals last season, one more than Kane. It’s this form that Real need if they want to win the trophy again, or they might just go another year with European glory.
Ferran Torres – 22/1
PSG’s new boy and World Cup winner, Ferran Torres rounds out the top four favourites for the Champions League golden boot.
The former Barcelona front man is known for his ability to score the biggest goals on the biggest stages.
Last season, the Spaniard only registered three Champions League goals but already has that amount for his new side in Paris. Moving to a team that suits his style, that has needed a forward is exactly why he makes this list.
An outside shot, but a player good enough, on the best team in the competition, the reigning champions.
