Club World Cup 2025 top scorers: Di Maria level with Bayern stars through penalties alone
The Club World Cup has taken a new form in 2025, going from a seven-team tournament to one including 32 sides from different continents.
That has already seen a glut of goals scored, given European powerhouses have been pitted against much smaller sides from across the globe.
Here, we have looked into the top-scoring players in the 2025 Club World Cup so far.
=1. Jamal Musiala – 3
There is an overpowering Bayern Munich flavour towards the top of the top-scorers list, given the German champions thumped Auckland City, an amateur side who had 10 goals put past them in their first game of the tournament.
Attacking midfielder Musiala came off the bench for Bayern in the 61st minute, and by the 84th he had the first hat-trick of the tournament. He remains one of the joint-top scorers off the back of that performance.
=1. Michael Olise – 3
Musiala was far from the only Bayern man to have his fun against Auckland, with three Bayern team-mates all managing a brace.
French winger Olise scored Bayern’s third and sixth goals at the tournament, both coming in the first half of their first game. In the next game, a 2-1 victory over Boca Juniors, Olise scored the winner, to bring himself level with Musiala up at the top.
=1. Angel Di Maria – 3
Benfica penalties have helped Argentinian winger Di Maria haul himself up to the summit of the goalscorers list. He bagged a penalty in first-half stoppage time against Boca Juniors, before twice stepping up from the spot to score in Benfica’s following game, against Auckland.
Open play or not, you have to be there to score them, and Di Maria has helped Benfica’s cause with his goals so far.
=1. Kenan Yildiz – 3
Turkish forward Yildiz has been one of Juventus’ most potent attackers in the Club World Cup so far. He scored their third goal of the tournament in their first game, against Al Ain.
In the next game, Yildiz thought he had a hat-trick, but it was deemed the first goal of the game against Wydad AC was not going in directly from his boot, so he had to settle for a brace, including a thunderous strike from the edge of the area.
=5. Kingsley Coman – 2
The scorer of the first goal in the 2025 Club World Cup – after the opening game was drawn 0-0 – Bayern winger Coman opened the scoring in its second game after just six minutes.
Less than 15 minutes later, he bagged his second goal of the tournament, and Bayern’s fourth.
=5. Thomas Muller – 2
Muller is leaving Bayern at the end of the Club World Cup, bringing to an end an association of 17 years of professional football.
He had his contract extended so that he could play in the tournament, and is making the most of it, with a brace of goals in the 10-0 victory against Auckland.
=5. Randal Kolo Muani – 2
French forward Kolo Muani picked up where he left off in the regular season, with a brace of goals in Juventus’ opening victory against Al Ain.
He scored his side’s first goal of the tournament, before finding the net again just before half-time of the same game.
=5. Ilkay Gundogan – 2
City were on form in their second game of the tournament, hammering six goals past Al Ain, for no response.
Gundogan opened the scoring in the eighth minute of the game, and returned with a second goal in the second half, to become the only City player to have scored more than one goal so far.
=5. Lautaro Martinez – 2
Martinez’s goal against Monterrey saved Inter Milan the ignominy of losing to Mexican side Monterrey, who were leding 1-0 through Sergio Ramos. That game ended 1-1, before Martinez played an important role in the next game.
Playing against Urawa Reds, there was only one goal separating Inter and the Japanese side, with Martinez scoring one of their 26 shots to go level in the 78th minute, before Valentin Carboni won the game in stoppage time.
=5. Pedro Neto – 2
Neto fired in Chelsea’s first goal of the tournament in a 2-0 victory against LAFC, putting the English side on a good path.
He’d have thought he’d done the same when scoring the opener against Flamengo in the next game, before three second-half goals saw the Blues stunned by their Brazilian opponents.
=5. Iqraam Rayners – 2
Mamelodi Sundowns have become, for many, the heroic underdogs of the tournament, winning their first game and pushing Borussia Dortmund all the way in a 4-3 loss to the German outfit in the second.
Rayners scored in both games – he bagged the only goal in a 1-0 victory against Ulsan, before attempting to pull things back against Dortmund, with the second of his side’s three goals in a game filled with attempts on goal.
=5. Leandro Barreiro – 2
Both of Barreiro’s goals came in very quick succession in Benfica’s win over Auckland.
The midfielder scored his first goal of the tournament in the 76th minute, and two minutes later had doubled his tally.
=5. Igor Jesus – 2
Botafogo forward Jesus has been a consistent performer in the tournament so far. His first goal came just before half time in the victory against Seattle Sounders.
He then secured the shock of the tournament so far, with the only goal in a 1-0 victory over Champions League victors Paris Saint-Germain. Botafogo had just four shots, but Jesus made one of them count for a lot.
=5. Francisco Conceicao -2
Both of Conceicao’s tournament goals so far came in the same game – Juventus’ 5-0 victory over Al Ain.
The 22-year-old bagged the second goal of the game, before capping off a dominant performance from the Serie A side with the fifth.
=5. Pablo Barrios – 2
Atletico lost their first game of the tournament heavily, when PSG put four goals past them, so they had to bounce back.
They did it in style, through a 3-1 victory against Seattle Sounders in which Barrios scored the opener, and then gave his side breathing space with the third goal, five minutes after the American outfit had cut the deficit to one.
16. 59 players – 1
With most of the tournament’s games having had at least one goal scored, there are a lot of players who have one to their name.
Those players are: Harry Kane, Jin-hyun Lee, Denis Bouanga, Vangelis Pavlidis, Bruno Henrique, Phil Foden, Erling Haaland, Luiz Araujo, Sacha Boey, Lucas Ribeiro, Won-sang Um, Gonzalo Garcia, Sergio Ramos, Lionel Messi, Axel Witsel, Albert Rusnak, Rodrigo Battaglia, Karim Onisiwo, Danilo, Youcef Belaili, Ruben Neves, Giorgian de Arrascaeta, Renato Sanches, Serhou Guirassy, Maximiliano Meza, Sebastian Driussi, Ryoma Watanabe, Thembinkosi Lorch, Keno, Fabian Ruiz, Cristian Roldan, Dusan Vlahovic, Federico Valverde, Felix Nmecha, Lebo Mothiba, Miguel Merentiel, Jeremy Doku, Vitinha, Facundo Colidio, Nonato, Kang-in Lee, Jude Bellingham, Rayan Cherki, Juan Pablo Freytes, Enzo Fernandez, Oscar Bobb, Yusuke Matsuo, Bryan Gonzalez, Valentin Carboni, Jobe Bellingham, Jose Manuel Lopez, Telasco Segovia, Arda Guler, Senny Mayulu, Oscar Gloukh, Jair Cunha, Samu Aghehowa, Claudio Echeverri, Wallace Yan and Elias Montiel.
