Serhou Guirassy takes Champions League tally to 23 goals

Guinean striker Serhou Guirassy has taken his Champions League goal tally to 23 after scoring twice for Borussia Dortmund against Sabah FK in a 2-1 win on 20 October 2026. He is closing in on Senegal’s Sadio Mané, the competition’s fourth-highest African scorer with 27 goals, according to Statsdufoot.

Serhou Guirassy, the Guinean striker for Borussia Dortmund, scored twice against Sabah FK on 20 October, taking his total to 23 goals in the Champions League. He is fifth among the competition’s top African scorers of all time, according to Statsdufoot.

Guirassy scored 13 goals in 14 matches in the 2024-2025 season, then four in 10 matches in 2025-2026. He already has four goals in three matches in the 2026-2027 edition. Two of his 23 goals were scored for Stade Rennais.
