\"Mohamed<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Netting eight separate times during last year\u2019s UEFA Champions League<\/a> campaign \u2013 which saw Liverpool finish runners up behind Carlo Ancelotti\u2019s Real Madrid, Egyptian forward, Mohamed Salah has been touted as a potential winner of this season\u2019s top goalscorer award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salah, who currently leads this season\u2019s top goalscorer charts with seven goals in the group stage alongside Paris Saint Germain frontman, Kylian Mbappe, guided his team to second place in Group A \u2013 behind Italian side, Napoli who managed to trounce the Jurgen Klopp-led side in Naples in their reverse clash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bright spark in an interchanging front three of Luis Diaz, Roberto Firmino, and Diogo Jota, Salah has been a relative source of joy for the Kop this season \u2013 as part of a tumultuous and topsy-turvy campaign for Klopp\u2019s side, both domestically and in European competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available as still quite an outside bet behind the aforenoted, Mbappe, and Manchester City striker, Erling Haaland \u2013 who has found the net five times in the Champions League as part of his stunning goalscoring exploits this season, online free spins casino<\/a> place Salah at worthy odds to end this year\u2019s campaign as top goalscorer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last campaign\u2019s top goalscorer award went to recent FIFA Ballon D\u2019or winner, Karim Benzema, with the Real Madrid talisman guiding Ancelotti\u2019s side to tournament success against Liverpool \u2013 netting a whopping 15 times throughout the group stage and as part of stunning knockout ties for Los Blancos<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a surprisingly quiet season last year \u2013 at least by his standards, Argentine forward and six time top goalscorer victor, Lionel Messi has kicked on this season in Paris alongside Mbappe and Brazilian playmaker, Neymar \u2013 finding the net himself 4 times throughout the group stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polish frontman, Robert Lewandowski is also out of the running to win this season\u2019s UEFA Champions League, with his Barcelona side dumped out at the group stage, despite the former Bayern Munich man scoring 5 times in 5 group stage appearances. Barcelona are set to feature in the UEFA Europa League in the new year, with the Catalan side slated to compete in a two legged affair with a chance to reach the last 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topping a solid Group B which included both Bayer Leverkusen, and Diego Simeone\u2019s Athletico Madrid, FC Porto see their attack spearheaded by Iranian striker, Mehdi Taremi \u2013 who has continued his goalscoring exploits since arriving from Rio Ave two season\u2019s ago \u2013 scoring 5 times in the group stage, landing him beside both Lewandowski, and Haaland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Serie A victors, AC Milan, the Rossoneri finished behind Chelsea in second place in Group B \u2013 progressing to the knockout phase courtesy of French maestro, Olivier Giroud. Led by Stefano Pioli, Milan have developed an energetic and technical group of players following a gold drought in the Italian capital in the last decade, spearheaded by Giroud, Portuguese sensation, Rafael Leao, as well as serial winner, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is touted to soon return from a knee injury suffered at the tail end of last season. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
