The all-time scoring record for the CAF Champions League is jointly held by Egyptian legend Mohamed Aboutrika and Congolese forward Trésor Mputu, both with 31 goals. Aboutrika achieved his tally playing for Al Ahly, while Mputu scored his for TP Mazembe.
Following closely is another Al Ahly icon, Mohamed Barakat, with 30 goals. The list of prolific scorers is dominated by players from North African clubs, particularly Egypt's Al Ahly and Tunisia's Espérance Sportive de Tunis, which have been the most successful teams in the competition's history.
Among active players, the top scorer is typically a closely watched statistic that changes each season. As of the 2025-26 season, the leading active scorer is often a player from one of the continent's powerhouse clubs, though they remain significantly behind the all-time record holders.
The CAF Champions League, Africa's premier club football competition, has seen its goal records stand for many years, underscoring the legendary status of players like Aboutrika and Mputu in African football history.
