UEFA Champions League Golden Boot Race Ahead of Semifinals: Guirassy, Raphinha, Lewandowski
Apr 18, 2025
With the UEFA Champions League semifinals looming, there's only five games remaining in the competition to determine who will take home the tournament's golden boot award, and the race is far from over.
The expanded Champions League league phase plus the the knockout stage playoffs offered players more opportunities to up their goal tally. In previous editions, teams could play a maximum of 13 games in a Champions League season if they reached the final. Now, there are teams that have already played 14 games ahead of the semifinals with the new format.
Four players have already achieved double-digit goal campaigns in Europe's top tier competition this season, with some of the most lethal goalscorers in world soccer among or near that mark.
However, it's currently an unexpected striker that leads the golden boot race to become the top scorer in the 2024–25 Champions League.
