World-class forwards turning on the style against the best teams on the continent — it has been another breathtaking UEFA Champions League campaign for fans and neutrals.
Before this week’s semi-final second legs, we are honoring those who brought the goods and highlighting their standout performances. Now, without further ado, let us take a quick look at the five players with the most goal involvements in the Champions League this season.
#5 Phil Foden (Manchester City) — 8 Goal Contributions
Phil Foden Has Scored 24 Goals For Manchester City This Season
Kicking off the list is Manchester City‘s golden boy Phil Foden. The England international, who is enjoying his best-ever campaign in Man City’s colors, was in top shape in the UEFA Champions League before the elimination against Real Madrid in the quarter-finals. After featuring in eight matches, Foden left the competition with five goals and three assists.
Foden’s most impactful performance this season came in November, as he helped Manchester City avoid a Group G defeat to RB Leipzig. He chipped in with a goal and an assist as City picked up a 3-2 victory over the Bundesliga side.
#4 Kylian Mbappe (PSG) — 8 Goal Contributions

Arguably the best player in the world, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) superstar Kylian Mbappe has claimed the fourth spot on this list, having scored eight goals in 11 Champions League matches. No player has scored more than the Frenchman this season.
Mbappe, who fired a blank as PSG lost 1-0 to Borussia Dortmund in the semi-final first leg on May 1, has bagged two braces so far. However, the one against Barcelona in the quarter-final second leg was easily more important, as it helped PSG overturn a 3-2 first-leg deficit and proceed to the next round with a 6-4 aggregate score.
