Michael Olise is ahead of FC Bayern München team-mate Jamal Musiala, Juventus FC youngster Kenan Yildiz and SL Benfica veteran Angel Di Maria in the race to be named Top Goal Scorer presented by Bank of America at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™.

The winger’s winning goal in Bayern’s qualification-securing 2-1 win over CA Boca Juniors took him on to three for the tournament and, due to the two assists he chalked up in the Bavarians’ 10-0 demolition of Auckland City, Olise holds the advantage over Yildiz, Musiala, and Di Maria.

The latter converted two penalties in Benfica’s 6-0 win against Auckland City to add to the spot-kick he struck against Boca Juniors in their opening match. It was not such a positive day at the office for Musiala, however, with the young Bayern star forced off the field against Boca with an injury that could threaten his future involvement.

Yildiz, who was on target in Juventus’ opening 5-0 cruise against Al Ain FC, scored two further goals as the Italian giants marched on to the Round of 16 with an equally impressive 4-1 triumph over Wydad AC.

Al Ahly FC forward Wessam Abou Ali has joined the leading group on three goals following his hat-trick in the thrilling 4-4 draw with FC Porto, but with the Egyptian giants now eliminated he will be unable to add to his tally.
