Erling Haaland is arguably the hottest property in European football right now.

The Borussia Dortmund striker has been exceptional over the past three seasons. He is widely considered to be one of the best strikers in the world. He was signed by Dortmund in 2020 from Red Bull Salzburg and has been in stunning form ever since moving to Germany.

Haaland is blessed with blistering pace and finishing ability and has a spectacular goalscoring record at club level. He averages over a goal in every game, an astonishing feat when you consider that he has already made 80 appearances.

Haaland has scored seven match-winning goals for his side this season despite missing almost 10 games through injury.


#2. Karim Benzema | 8 winning goals

Karim Benzema has been in impeccable form this season.

Signed in 2009, Benzema is now one of the most senior members of the Real Madrid squad. He was signed from Lyon for a reported €35 million in 2009 and has more than justified his transfer fee.

Benzema has hit an unstoppable vein of form this season. His partnership with Vinicius Jr. is arguably the best in Europe, as the pair have contributed a vast majority of the club's goals together (49).

Benzema already has 22 league goals this season and has scored eight of them to win his side the match. With the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals coming soon, the club will be hoping that Benzema keeps up the good work.


#1. Cristiano Ronaldo | 9 winning goals

Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably one of the greatest footballers of all time.

The Portuguese attacker re-joined Manchester United in a shock deal last summer and has been in excellent goalscoring touch. Despite facing several changes within the club, Ronaldo has remained unfazed and continues to score goals regularly for the Red Devils.

He is currently joint-second in the Premier League goalscoring charts with Sadio Mane and Diogo Jota with 12 goals. He recently rolled back the years with his performance against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, grabbing a hat-trick.

Ronaldo is extremely versatile in attack and is capable of scoring with either foot. He is also blessed with excellent aerial ability and is regarded by many as one of the best attackers in world football.

Ronaldo has scored a stunning nine match-winning goals this season, cementing his place at the top of the list.
