Champions League top scorers: Serhou Guirassy leads the way

Borussia Dortmund forward Serhou Guirassy is out on his own as the top scorer in this season's UEFA Champions League with ten goals.

The Guinea international was level with Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski at the end of the league phase, but surpassed him after his superb header opened the scoring in Dortmund's 3-0 win over Sporting CP in the first leg of their knockout phase play-off tie.

Lewandowski had led the way for the majority of the league phase, and netted two penalties in Barcelona's dramatic 5-4 win against Benfica on Matchday 7 to add to his tally and move clear at the summit.

However, Guirassy caught up with a double of his own in Dortmund's 3-1 Matchday 8 victory against Shakhtar, meaning the pair were neck and neck going into the knockout phase, with Lewandowski now not in action until the round of 16.

Lewandowski's Barcelona teammate Raphinha is lurking just behind the two frontrunners with eight goals along with Manchester City's Erling Haaland, while Vinícius Júnior of Real Madrid has seven.

A total of seven players are on six goals, including the likes of Ousmane Dembélé, Viktor Gyökeres and Harry Kane.
