Erling Haaland has finished as top scorer in the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League with 12 goals, four more than second-ranked Mohamed Salah.
The Norwegian forward struck five times in the group stage and doubled his season's tally by becoming only the third player to score five in a single Champions League match, in the round of 16 second leg against Leipzig. He also struck in both legs of the quarter-final triumph over Bayern and, though they were his last goals in the competition, that proved enough for Haaland to take the prize.
