Borussia Dortmund forward Serhou Guirassy has been named joint top scorer of this season’s UEFA Champions League, capping off an impressive individual campaign despite his side falling short in the latter stages of the tournament.
Guirassy netted 13 goals in Europe’s premier club competition, a tally matched only by Barcelona’s Raphinha, who also contributed nine assists.
The Guinean international’s scoring exploits were instrumental in Dortmund’s progress to the quarter-finals, where their journey was ultimately halted by the Catalan giants.
Although Dortmund finished tenth in the league stage and exited the competition earlier than hoped, Guirassy’s consistent performances in front of goal provided a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing European run.
His clinical finishing and composure under pressure earned him plaudits across the continent and saw him rise to the top of the scoring charts.
The Champions League campaign concluded with Paris Saint-Germain lifting the trophy, led by right-back Achraf Hakimi, who scored in the final against Inter Milan.
Yet even with the spotlight on PSG’s historic triumph, Guirassy’s achievement did not go unnoticed.
His name will now be etched alongside Europe’s elite, with his 13-goal haul earning him one of the competition’s most prestigious individual honours.
For the 28-year-old striker, this accolade reflects a season of personal growth and international recognition.
It also marks a significant milestone for Guinean football, placing a player from the West African nation at the forefront of European competition.
Guirassy’s emergence as a leading goal scorer in the Champions League is a testament to his development at Dortmund and his ability to compete among the continent’s best.
With Raphinha also ending the season on 13 goals, the pair will share the top scorer title—a rare occurrence in recent editions of the tournament.
As the dust settles on another dramatic Champions League season, Guirassy’s name stands tall among the stars, his performances offering a reminder that individual brilliance can shine through even when team success remains elusive.
