Top scorers in the 2024/25 Europa League

Yunus Akgün struck in a fourth successive league phase game as Galatasaray won 3-2 against Tottenham, while Ayoub El Kaabi (top scorer in last season's UEFA Europa Conference League with winners Olympiacos) hit his 20th European goal for Olympiacos in their 1-1 draw at home against Rangers.

Samu grabbed the first of his four goals eight minutes into Porto's opening game against Bodø/Glimt, a 3-2 defeat, and then hit two in a 3-3 draw with Manchester United on Matchday 2, and a fourth in a 2-0 win against Hoffenheim. However, he failed to score for the first time in the league phase as his side lost 2-1 at Lazio on Matchday 4.

Pedro Rodríguez scored the late winner for the Bianconeri in that game and is the only player to have had a hand in five goals in this season's league phase: three scored plus two assists.
