Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy has climbed to the top tier of the UEFA Champions League scoring charts with four goals, drawing level with Europe’s most prolific forwards ahead of a crucial European fixture, rfi.fr reported.
Climbing the European Scoring Ranks
Guirassy secured his status among continental leaders following a double on the road against FC Sabah in Azerbaijan. That performance brought his overall Champions League tally to 23 goals in 31 appearances, cementing his place in the top five of African goalscorers in the history of the competition. The 30-year-old forward now sits four goals behind Sadio Mané and seven behind Samuel Eto’o in those historical rankings.
His current four-goal haul in the tournament places him alongside Harry Kane of Bayern Munich, Manchester City’s Erling Haaland, Sporting Portugal’s Luis Suárez, and Club Bruges forward Tresoldi. During the 2024–25 Champions League campaign, Guirassy finished as co-top scorer alongside Barcelona forward Raphinha after netting 13 goals.
Domestic Impact Against the Bundesliga Leaders
That European momentum spilled over into domestic play on Saturday, October 31, 2026. Guirassy scored a second-half goal against Bundesliga table-leaders Bayern Munich on their home turf. Though Bayern twice took the lead, Dortmund fought back to secure a 2–2 draw. That strike marked the Guinea international’s eighth goal across all competitions since the start of the season.

Despite his scoring rate, Dortmund manager Niko Kovac noted room for development, stating that while the forward creates numerous opportunities, he can become even more clinical in front of goal.
Contract Discussions and Long-Term Value
Recognizing his importance to the squad, club leadership has initiated plans to reward the forward. According to AfricaFoot, the club’s hierarchy is convinced by his performances and influence within the dressing room, considering him a central pillar of their long-term sporting project. Les Transferts noted that Guirassy’s current deal runs through June 2028, and transfer specialist Ekrem Konur reported that discussions are planned to extend that agreement and safeguard the player’s future amid outside interest from clubs such as Manchester United.
Financial valuations place the forward’s market value at €32 million, backed by an annual salary reported at €9,430,000.
Upcoming Champions League Fixture
Borussia Dortmund currently sits second in the Bundesliga standings and 13th in the Champions League league phase. The team returns to European action on Wednesday, November 3, 2026, hosting Real Betis at home for the fourth matchday of the continental tournament, providing Guirassy an immediate platform to add to his scoring totals.
