5 players with the most goal contributions across Europe in 2021/22

The 2021/22 season is well underway around Europe, with clubs in action on a regular basis in order to ensure that they win trophies come the end of the season. With club football on a two-week sabbatical due to the international break, it gives managers time to plan and adjust their tactics in order to be more successful.

As usual, there have been a few standout performers this season and here, we take a look at five players who have the most goal contributions across Europe in 2021/22.

1. Jakob Jantscher (Sturm Graz) - 20

A surprising name in Jakob Jantscher tops this list, considering that the striker is not known to be extremely prolific in front of goal. The 32-year-old has been brilliant so far this season, registering 20 goal contributions - which has helped Sturm Graz in a big way.

Karim Benzema has established himself as Real Madrid's most important player since Cristiano Ronaldo left in 2018, with the striker becoming their talisman in front of goal.

5. Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich) - 14
