02More about the top three

The ranking is above. Here is more about the three places at the top: what they are, why they are here, and what is worth knowing.

Guirassy is judged on xG per 90, Kane and Tresoldi on total xG, and Kane has 3 goals against 4 for the other two, so the numbers are not directly comparable.

1Serhou Guirassy

No. 1 — Serhou Guirassy. On the lists of 6 of 9 AIs; median place there: 2. The AIs put him first for four goals plus the best xG per 90, with both Baku goals scored in a tight game.

Did you know

At Stuttgart, Guirassy scored a hat-trick within 15 minutes in a 3–1 win over Wolfsburg. That gave him 13 goals in the first seven matches of a season, a Bundesliga record.
Source ↗

What it is: Dortmund striker who scored twice in Baku to reach four goals.
Its edge: Highest xG per 90 in the competition (1.79) and decisive goals.
Who should know: Useful to know for who is the sharpest finisher in the group stage.

Goals and xG4 goals, 1.79 xG per 90

Wikipedia · Wikidata

Why it is here

Guirassy scored both goals in Dortmund's 2-1 win in Baku, at 10 and 53 minutes. That put him at 23 Champions League goals in only 31 matches, the fourth-fastest to reach 23.
Source ↗
Goal.com lists how many games others needed to reach 23: Haaland 19, Gomez 33, Kane 35, Lewandowski 40, Mbappé 41, Messi 42. Guirassy needed 31. He has seven two-goal games since 2024-25, level with Kane.
Source ↗

History

In 2019, after a difficult spell in Germany, Guirassy returned to France with Amiens. His goals there revived his career and earned him a move to Rennes, before Stuttgart gave him a second chance in the Bundesliga. — (voice only)
Source ↗

Keep in mind

Even in that Club World Cup win over Monterrey, the report says he missed a couple of chances that could have given Dortmund a third goal. Good scorers can still waste chances. I could not find a page on the Champions League match itself.
Source ↗

Where to go further

Start with the career section. His 2023-24 season at Stuttgart was the turning point: 28 league goals in 28 matches, a club record, according to this page. — (voice only)

2Harry Kane

No. 2 — Harry Kane. On the lists of 6 of 9 AIs; median place there: 4.5. The AIs rank him second for three goals from solid chances and a goal in nine Champions League games in a row.

Did you know

In his first Bundesliga season, Kane scored at least twice in eight different games, a first for any player in a debut season. That same spell equalled Uwe Seeler's record of 30 goals in a debut Bundesliga campaign.
Source ↗

What it is: Bayern striker with three goals, one of them a penalty.
Its edge: A nine-game scoring streak in the Champions League that the other two lack.
Who should know: Useful to know for who scores week after week, even with one goal fewer.

Goals and xG3 goals from about 2.6 xG

Why it is here

Kane scored twice at Viking, at 54 minutes (penalty) and 60 minutes (header). That made nine Champions League games in a row with a goal. Ronaldo's record is 11 in a row.
Source ↗
Kane has eight goals and four assists in nine games for Bayern in all competitions this season. Lewandowski also had two runs of nine games in a row with a goal at Bayern.
Source ↗

History

In 2011, Tottenham sent Kane on loan to Leyton Orient, giving the 17-year-old his first extended taste of first-team football. That spell began his journey through the English leagues toward the top level.
Source ↗

Keep in mind

Kane missed the two biggest finals. England lost to Argentina in the World Cup semifinals, and Bayern went out of the Champions League semifinals against eventual champion PSG.

3Nicolò Tresoldi

No. 3 — Nicolò Tresoldi. On the lists of 6 of 9 AIs; median place there: 3. The AIs put him third for four goals, all from a hat-trick that won a 4-3 game at Inter.

Did you know

His first goal, the penalty, came with his eyes shut. He said, "I just closed my eyes and struck it with the instep." Italy and Germany both want him for their senior teams, and he plans to decide after the U-21 European Championship.
Source ↗

What it is: Club Brugge striker who scored a hat-trick at Inter on matchday 2.
Its edge: All four goals came in one match, against a big club, from good chances.
Who should know: Useful to know for who might be the next young star to move clubs.

Goals and xG4 goals from about 3.26 xG

Why it is here

Tresoldi's first goal came from a penalty at 30 minutes, putting Brugge 1-0 up at Inter. It was a calm start to a night in which he scored three times.
Source ↗
His three goals made it 1-0, 2-1 and 3-1. The third came at 74 minutes, completing a hat-trick (three goals) in Brugge's 4-3 win at Inter.
Source ↗

Did you know

Tresoldi is a Milan fan. His father is Italian and his mother is Argentine, yet he plays for Germany's U-21 team. He scored his Inter hat-trick at San Siro, the Milan stadium he grew up supporting.
Source ↗

History

In June 2025 Club Brugge signed the 20-year-old striker from Hannover, a German second-division club, on a contract until 2029. The reported fee was about 6 million euros. The move took him from the German second tier to Belgium's top league.
Source ↗

Keep in mind

His future is open. He can play for Germany, Italy or Argentina, and a Sky Germany report put his price at €25-30m. The article does not confirm any club's offer, so treat it as talk.
