Europa League top scorers and stats 2026-27

Europa League stats cover scoring leaders, assists, team performance and historical records in European club football, also called soccer. Through 2024, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang led the scoring list covering the group stage or league phase through to the final with 34 goals, while Henrik Larsson led with 40 when qualifying rounds counted.

That distinction matters before any viewing centre argument begins: both answers need their counting rules attached. The Europa League scoring modules bring this season’s leaders alongside historical records, with African forwards central to the story.

Who Is the All-Time Europa League Top Scorer?

Aubameyang was first through 2024 on the list counting the group stage or league phase through to the final, while Larsson led when qualifying rounds were included. The Gabon forward’s record covered 34 goals in 62 appearances between 2009 and 2024. Through 2024, Larsson’s total including qualifying rounds was 40 goals in 56 appearances. These are different statistical boundaries, so check the scope label before deciding which player answers your top scorer Europa League search.

Who Is the Europa League Top Scorer This Season?

The live leaderboard identifies this season’s Europa League top scorer and updates after matches. Read the goals column alongside assists, minutes per goal and club, then check the last updated stamp. Lower minutes per goal means a faster scoring rate, although a short appearance can influence that figure considerably. Use the Europa League table to connect individual output with a club’s progress.

Who Has Led the Scoring in Each Season?

The season history module lists the leading scorers for each completed campaign, including players tied on goals. Keep the competition phase filter consistent when comparing Europa League top scorers across seasons. Falcao’s 17 goals for Porto in 2010/11 set the single season record. Campaigns from 2024/25 use the league phase format, so the route behind a total also deserves attention when discussing a golden boot.

How Should You Read the All-Time Top Ten?

The all time module pairs goals with appearances, goals per game and each player’s active years in the competition. Falcao’s 30 goals in 31 appearances between 2010 and 2021 produced a ratio of 0.97. That offers a useful comparison with Aubameyang’s longer accumulation of goals. Open the full list from the leaderboard and retain the same qualifying filter throughout your comparison of the top scorers in Europa League history.

Which Team Statistics Deserve Attention?

Goals per match and clean sheets help explain how teams build a European campaign, alongside the winners and titles modules. Sevilla reached seven titles with their victory in 2023. Read scoring averages with matches played, and clean sheets with the number of opportunities available. The Europa League fixtures show the schedule behind those opportunities; the Europa League results supply the completed scores.

How Do the Format and UEFA Cup Years Affect Records?

The UEFA Cup and Europa League belong to the same competition history, with the new name introduced in 2009/10. Older scorers such as Larsson therefore belong in combined historical records, provided the coverage is labelled. From 2024/25, a 36 team league phase replaced the groups, with clubs finishing ninth to twenty fourth entering knockout play offs. Always distinguish combined competition history from records covering only the Europa League era.

What Should African Supporters Look For?

Aubameyang’s lead on the group stage to final scoring list through 2024 gives African readers a direct connection to the competition’s scoring history. For followers of the Super Eagles, the practical question is how Nigerian internationals contribute through goals, assists and playing time. Filter this season’s players by nationality and club before comparing them.
