Osimhen and Mbappé Lead 2025/26 Champions League in Shots on Target
Victor Osimhen and Kylian Mbappé have emerged as the most precise forwards in the UEFA Champions League this season, leading the competition in shots on target. Mbappé tops the chart with 14, while Osimhen follows closely with 10, making them the only players to hit double digits in this category so far in the 2025/2026 campaign.
Since joining the Turkish giants, Osimhen has become the centerpiece of their attack, delivering performances that have reignited belief among fans and shaken up Group D.
His brace against Bodø/Glimt not only secured Galatasaray’s first back-to-back Champions League wins in over a decade, but also broke Burak Yılmaz’s record for goals in consecutive European matches. Osimhen’s impact has been immediate and profound, combining clinical finishing with tireless pressing and intelligent movement.
Meanwhile, Mbappé’s debut season at Real Madrid has been nothing short of spectacular. With 14 shots on target, he leads all players in the competition, reaffirming his reputation as one of the world’s most dangerous forwards.
His goals have come in bursts, his pace remains unmatched, and his link-up play with Vinícius Júnior and Brahim Díaz has added a new dimension to Madrid’s attack.
The Frenchman’s performances have helped Real Madrid maintain their dominance in Group A, and his consistency in front of goal has made him the focal point of Carlo Ancelotti’s tactical setup.
