Women's Champions League top scorer: Pernille Harder remains in front

Bayern forward Pernille Harder remains in pole position in the race to finish as UEFA Women's Champions League top scorer after taking her tally to six goals on Matchday 5.

Harder, who snared the prize while at Wolfsburg in 2018/19, struck a Matchday 1 hat-trick against Arsenal and added further goals away to Juventus and at home to Vålerenga. The Denmark forward was matched by Signe Bruun of Real Madrid at the start of Matchday 5 but regained the lead by registering in Bayern's 4-0 defeat of Juve.

Bruun's haul of five strikes includes three against Celtic. She was joined on five goals on Matchday 6 by Twente's Kayleigh van Dooren, with four of her efforts also coming against Celtic, and Barcelona's Clàudia Pina, who hit doubles against both Hammarby and St. Pölten.

A group of six players are on four goals: Barcelona's Ewa Pajor, Lyon forward Kadidiatou Diani, Arsenal duo Mariona Caldentey and Alessia Russo, and Wolfsburg pair Alexandra Popp and Sveindís Jónsdóttir, who scored all four of her goals as a substitute at home to Roma on Matchday 5.
