Real Madrid C. F. forward Gonzalo Garcia has moved into first place in the race to be named FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ Top Goal Scorer presented by Bank of America.
The 21-year-old, who has been one of the sensations of the tournament, netted his fourth goal in five games when he opened the scoring in Real’s 3-2 quarter-final victory over Borussia Dortmund.
Garcia was thrust into the limelight in the group phase when Kylian Mbappe was sidelined by illness, and he has responded by providing either a goal or an assist in the meetings with Al Hilal, CF Pachuca, FC Salzburg, Juventus FC and now Dortmund.
The fact Garcia has one assist to his name means he is now the outright leader in the Top Goal Scorer rankings, ahead of Benfica veteran Angel Di Maria, Al Hilal frontman Marcos Leonardo and Borussia Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy, who have all been eliminated from the tournament.
Of the players on three goals and within striking distance of Garcia’s mark, only Chelsea midfielder Pedro Neto remains in the competition heading into the semi-final stage.
