Kylian Mbappé finished the 2025/26 Champions League season as the leading goal scorer, registering an impressive 15 goals across 11 matches. The Real Madrid forward significantly surpassed other top contenders, including Harry Kane, Julián Álvarez, Gordon, and Kvaratskhelia, who also had strong campaigns.

Mbappé's scoring prowess was evident throughout the tournament, with 13 goals coming in just seven group stage fixtures. His notable performances included multiple braces, a hat-trick against Kairat Almaty, and a four-goal haul against Olympiacos. He further cemented his position by scoring in both quarterfinal encounters against Bayern Munich. This exceptional achievement places Mbappé in an elite category, with only Cristiano Ronaldo having scored more goals in a single Champions League season.
