Top 10 players in Europe in 2024/25 season

1. Lamine Yamal (Barcelona). At the age of 17, Yamal had an incredible season with 18 goals and 21 assists in all competitions - an unprecedented number for a young player in Europe's top leagues. Even coach Simone Inzaghi had to assign 3 players to closely guard Yamal in the Champions League semi-finals, because he was considered a "once-in-50-year phenomenon". Goal rated Yamal as the best player this season and has a chance to win the Golden Ball.

2. Raphinha (Barcelona): Raphinha was almost sold last season but surprisingly stayed at Camp Nou. And now the Brazilian striker is one of the most important players at the club, with a record equal to Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of goal contributions in this year's Champions League.

3. Mohamed Salah (Liverpool): Salah returned strongly with 28 goals and 18 assists, contributing greatly to Liverpool's 2024/25 Premier League championship.

4. Ousmane Dembele (PSG): After many disappointing years, Dembele has made a spectacular comeback at PSG with 44 goals in all competitions this season, helping the French capital team reach the Champions League final. If he wins, the former Barcelona star is likely to win the 2025 Ballon d'Or.

5. Pedri (Barcelona): Benefiting from the new style of play under Hansi Flick, the young Spanish midfielder played 58 times this season, directly contributing to 14 goals. He is the player with the best ball control ability in the top 5 European leagues.

6. Harry Kane (Bayern Munich): Kane finally won a major title in his career with the Bundesliga championship with Bayern. Kane scored 26 goals in the Bundesliga and 11 goals in the Champions League, showing that he is still a top killer even though he is 31 years old.

7. Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona): Lewandowski has proven his tenacity and maintained his top form with 40 goals in 46 matches, despite being 36 years old. His presence has played an important role in helping Barca win the domestic treble this season.

8. Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid): Despite facing great pressure after moving to Real Madrid, Mbappe had a more impressive debut season than Ronaldo with 41 goals in 55 matches. This achievement helped the French striker win the European Golden Shoe.

9. Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool): Despite being 33 years old, Van Dijk is still the best central defender in the world . He played every minute of the Premier League until the last round, contributing to Liverpool's championship. Van Dijk's accurate passing ability and leadership role deserve praise.

10. Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting Lisbon): From the English First Division to the Champions League, the Swedish striker had an explosive season for Sporting with a total of 53 goals, including 6 hat-tricks, including a double in a 4-1 win over Man City. Keeping Gyokeres with 39 goals in 33 Primeira Liga matches is a big challenge for the Portuguese team.
