The race for the highest goal scorer in the UEFA Champions League 2025/26 season is becoming more intense as the competition moves into the quarter-final stage scheduled for April.
At the moment, Kylian Mbappé, who plays for Real Madrid, is still holding the number-one position on the scoring chart with a total of 13 goals, making him the current leader in the Golden Boot race.
This update comes after the conclusion of the Round of 16 matches, which determined the eight clubs that successfully qualified for the quarter-final fixtures.
The teams that progressed to the next stage include Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint‑Germain, Liverpool FC, Arsenal FC, Sporting CP, Atlético Madrid, and FC Barcelona.
These clubs will compete in April as the tournament moves closer to the semi-final stage.
Despite strong competition, Mbappé remains ahead of other top strikers.

Other players are also still in the race, although they are a few goals behind the leaders.
