After four Matchdays, Harry Kane, Ermedin Demirović and Serhou Guirassy sit atop the Champions League scoring charts. Kane has 4 goals from 8 shots on target, Demirović has 4 goals in 163 minutes, and Guirassy has 4 goals from just 6 shots on target. Three strikers, same total, very different routes to the top.
Kane's all-round output for Bayern München
Kane's case is not just about finishing. He has 7 Champions League goal involvements so far this season, which lines up with the broader way he is affecting Bayern München's attack.
There is also the longer view. Kane has 37 Champions League goals in 42 matches for Bayern since joining in 2023, and he told bundesliga.com that the contract talks are close, saying: "A lot of the bigger stuff has been ironed out and we are happy with it, but in every contract there are loads of little things that go into it, small details that in the end the lawyers have to thrash out and figure out. So, all in all, I would say it is more days than weeks."
Demirović and Guirassy's scoring pace
Demirović's start has been the most explosive. He hit a maiden European hat-trick in just 12 minutes in Stuttgart's Matchday 1 win over Viking, and he has 4 Champions League goals from 4 appearances. His 163 minutes across the competition work out at one goal every 42 minutes, depending on whether you use the rounded figure or the exact total.
Guirassy has been just as decisive, only in a different way. He has 4 Champions League goals and all four have come from 6 shots on target, while Borussia Dortmund have leaned on him hard in Europe. Gregor Kobel summed up the feeling around him with one line to bundesliga.com: "Serhou is a machine, and I don't really have to say much more."
Guirassy is also within 2 goals of a place among the Champions League's all-time top 50 scorers. After four matchdays, the headline is not that one Bundesliga club has a striker in form, but that three of them are sitting at the top together.
