Two matchdays into the 2026/27 Champions League, the national scorers’ table has a shared summit: Spain and France have each supplied 14 goals. Behind them, England’s dramatic eight-goal week has changed the look of the early standings, while Brazil have slipped from their opening-round position.
Key takeaways
- Spain and France are level first with 14 goals apiece, four clear of the nearest challengers.
- England scored more than any other nation in the second round, finding the net eight times.
- England and Germany share third place on 10 goals.
- Brazil have nine goals and now sit fifth, alongside Norway.
- The table assigns players by the national team they represent, including youth international affiliation.
France and Spain set the early pace
France moved from second into a tie for first after a seven-goal round across Europe. Barcola accounted for three in Liverpool’s 6-3 win at LASK Linz, while Akliouche, Dembélé and Doué all scored for Paris Saint-Germain. Mbappé completed the French contribution during Real Madrid’s major comeback.
Spain added six goals to remain alongside France at the top. Porto’s Gabri Veiga and Samu Aghehowa were both on the scoresheet in the same match in which Isco scored for Betis. Fermín López struck in Barcelona’s 4-1 victory over Galatasaray, with Pablo Barrios of Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid’s Carlos Espí also contributing.
England surge as Brazil lose ground
England had not been in the top 10 after the opening matchday, but their second-round return carried them straight into a share of third. Harry Kane scored twice for Bayern against Viking, while Ross Barkley also produced a double for Aston Villa.
Arsenal’s Eze and Saka each added a goal, Gordon scored for Barcelona, and Tammy Abraham was among the scorers as Aston Villa swept Fenerbahçe aside 6-0. Those six players supplied England’s eight goals, lifting the country level with Germany on 10.
Brazil began the campaign in third after scoring six times in the first round, but managed three in the next set of fixtures and fell two places. Endrick headed in for Real Madrid during a 4-3 turnaround against Roma. Pedrinho, formerly of Corinthians and Atlético Mineiro, and Internacional academy product Vinícius Tobias scored for Shakhtar Donetsk.
The ranking follows international eligibility rather than birthplace. A player is counted for the country whose national side he represents at the time of scoring, with youth-team representation also included. Matheus Nunes, for example, was born in Rio de Janeiro but represents Portugal, so any Champions League goal from the Manchester City player would be added to Portugal’s total.
