Top UCL Scorers for Sevilla FC Wissam Ben Yedder – 12 UCL goals; Luís Fabiano – 10 UCL goals; Youssef En-Nesyri – 10 UCL goals; Frederic Kanouté – 9 UCL goals
Sevilla’s story in the UEFA Champions League is not huge like the biggest clubs, but it is full of big moments and brave finishes.
Over the years Sevilla produced strikers and attackers who scored important goals on Europe’s biggest stage.
This article lists Sevilla’s top scorers in the Champions League, explains why those numbers matter, and looks at how the club has fared in Europe.
Sevilla haven’t featured often in the Champions League, their European fame mostly comes from the Europa League.
Still, in the times they did qualify for UCL, the club produced performances and players worthy of remembrance.
Goals in Champions League come under pressure. So knowing who scored, and when, helps us appreciate those rare but great continental nights.
Rank 1: Wissam Ben Yedder – 12 UCL goals
Rank 2: Luís Fabiano – 10 UCL goals
Rank 3: Youssef En-Nesyri – 10 UCL goals
Rank 4: Frederic Kanouté – 9 UCL goals
Rank 5: Ivan Rakitić – 4 UCL goals
Rank 6: Renato – 3 UCL goals
Ben Yedder leads the chart with 12 Champions League goals. What makes him special is how and when those goals came.
In the 2017–18 season, he exploded: in a group game he scored a hat-trick that announced Sevilla’s presence; then in the round of 16, at Old Trafford against a giant like Manchester United, he came off the bench and scored twice to knock them out.
That 2017–18 UCL run ended with Sevilla reaching the quarter-finals, their best modern-era performance in the competition.
Before Sevilla became regular in Europe, Luís Fabiano netted 10 Champions League goals, making him joint second all-time. His scoring helped Sevilla in the era when Spanish clubs started fighting more often on continental nights.
En-Nesyri, with 10 UCL goals, is the more recent name among top scorers. When Sevilla qualified in the 2020s, he carried their attack, giving them hope in competitions many consider out of reach.
Kanouté scored 9 Champions League goals for Sevilla. As a forward in his time, he contributed at a period when Sevilla were trying to stabilize on the European stage, and his goals remain part of the club’s continental story.
Ivan Rakitić Not a traditional striker, Rakitić still managed 4 UCL goals with Sevilla, showing that impact in Europe for Sevilla wasn’t only up front.
Renato bagged 3 Champions League goals for Sevilla. Not a headline star, but a contributor, his goals added to Sevilla’s modest UCL history.
QUICK LINKS
2017–18 stands out as Sevilla’s best modern UCL run: they reached the quarter-finals, powered by Ben Yedder’s 8 goals that season, including a group stage hat-trick and a knockout brace at Old Trafford.
That win over Manchester United in March 2018 is among Sevilla’s greatest European nights: a 2–1 away win, with Ben Yedder delivering under pressure and sending Sevilla into the last eight.
Other seasons with UCL presence: 2016–17 (where Sevilla played knockout stage), 2009–10, 2010–11 and 2007–08 among others, showing the club’s intermittent but repeated visits to Europe’s top tournament.
Sevilla are not a permanent UCL household name, but whenever they reach the Champions League, they sometimes produce standout players and nights.
Their top UCL scorers are a mix of proven strikers and versatile attackers: not always the “super-stars,” but often the ones delivering when it matters.
The 2017–18 season remains their modern highlight, a season of hope, big nights, and proof that Sevilla, even outside the usual giants, can shine in Europe.
Sevilla did not qualify for the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League, so there are no active players scoring in the competition this season.
