Top 10 European Players with Most Goals & Assists in 2026-27: Raphinha and Mbappe in a Tight Race
The early part of the 2026-27 season has seen some familiar stars from Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Chelsea dominate the stats for combined goals and assists across Europe’s top leagues including the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, and Ligue 1. Alongside these giants, a few surprising names have emerged.
Top 10 Players by Combined Goals and Assists
10. Roberto Fernandez – 6 (6 goals, 0 assists)Despite Espanyol’s shaky start, the 24-year-old striker has been electric, opening the season with a brace against Levante and adding goals against Real Sociedad, Osasuna, and Rayo Vallecano. Manager Manolo Gonzalez believes his scoring rate could see him at Manchester City next year. His inclusion in Spain’s Nations League squad will be watched closely.
9. Lamine Yamal – 6 (6 goals, 0 assists)This teenage sensation from Barcelona has balanced scoring and creating perfectly over his career, but this season he’s leaned more towards scoring in La Liga, netting six times so far while yet to assist in the league. He did provide two assists in the Champions League thrashing of Feyenoord. The signs point to a breakthrough year.
8. Fermin Lopez – 6 (4 goals, 2 assists)Another product of La Masia, Lopez is making up for missing out on Spain’s World Cup winning squad by showing world-class attacking midfield qualities. Early season form suggests he might be stepping up to stardom.
7. Joao Pedro – 6 (3 goals, 3 assists) – 360 minutes playedThe sole Premier League player here represents Chelsea. Pedro has contributed to six goals in four appearances, forging promising connections with Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer, raising hopes that Chelsea’s goal-scoring issues may be easing.
6. Mariano Diaz – 6 (3 goals, 3 assists) – 258 minutes playedA comeback story for the ages, Diaz has already surpassed his combined league goals and assists totals from the past seven years before the first international break. Once considered a flop at Real Madrid, the Alaves forward is defying expectations.
5. Donyell Malen – 6 (6 goals, 0 assists) – 255 minutes playedLike Fernandez and Yamal, Malen has six goals without assists but with fewer minutes on the pitch. The Dutchman has scored at an astonishing rate for Serie A leaders Giallorossi, with 21 goals in 25 matches since joining in January.
4. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – 7 (5 goals, 2 assists) – 445 minutes playedAt 37, Aubameyang has revived his goal-scoring prowess after a stint in the Saudi Pro League. He’s the only player in Europe to score in every match so far this season and the first in La Liga to score in the opening five games since Zlatan Ibrahimovic in 2009.
3. Sergio Camello – 7 (6 goals, 1 assist) – 399 minutes playedPlaying for Rayo Vallecano, Camello has surprised many by hitting his best-ever league goal tally in his fifth season. La Liga seems to have something special this season with eight players in the top 10 playing there.
2. Kylian Mbappe – 9 (7 goals, 2 assists)“I always think I’m the best [player in the world] but everyone has their own opinion,” Mbappe recently said while quietly backing his Ballon d’Or ambitions. His numbers support his confidence, as he leads Europe with seven goals and added an assist in Real Madrid’s recent 3-2 win over Elche.
1. Raphinha – 9 (6 goals, 3 assists)Following the departures of Lewandowski and Ferran Torres, and missing out on Julian Alvarez, Barcelona might have found their main striker in Raphinha. He's thriving in his new role with strong chemistry alongside Yamal and other summer signings like Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi. This could set the stage for a thrilling La Liga title race if Raphinha and Mbappe maintain their form.
