The UEFA Champions League is entering a new era of goal-scoring prowess in the first full season since Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi moved away from Europe.
Erling Haaland’s incredible first season at Manchester City saw him break new ground in the Premier League Golden Boot race with 36 goals for Pep Guardiola’s side.
Haaland added to his domestic UEFA Champions League Golden Boot crown with 12 goals in European action as City completed a historic treble at the end of the campaign.
Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe are expected to challenge the Norwegian goalscoring machine this season, but with Karim Benzema joining Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia, Robert Lewandowski is the only current Champions League player to win the award.
