Top 10 Footballers with Most Goals in a Champions League Season

Scoring in the most competitive football competition is not everyone’s cup of tea; however, several players, including the GOATs of football, have done it repeatedly, and not just in single digits but in numbers that appear difficult for the upcoming generation to match. Let’s see which player has scored the most goals in a Champions League season, based on goals recorded during a single campaign of the UEFA Champions League.

The data captures goals scored across all official stages of a UCL season, including group-stage and knockout matches, while excluding qualifying rounds and penalty shootouts. Players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Robert Lewandowski and Lionel Messi feature prominently due to their ability to sustain high scoring output against elite opposition within a single tournament cycle.

No changes are made for any anomaly in competition format, number of matches or tactical trends. As a result, the record serves as a factual, season-specific reference for goal scoring at the highest level of European club football.
