Football is a game that is always decided by the number of goals scored. The team that scores more goals in a match is declared the winner and gets maximum points or progresses further in the knockout phase of the tournament.
Irrespective of the style of football a team plays, the amount of possession they keep during the game or the number of passes they complete, it is the team that scores more goals that wins the contest.
In that light, the role played by a forward or the goal-scorer during a match is immense. The player helps the side gain an advantage over their opponent by finding the back of the net.
Keeping that in mind, here’s a look at the players with the most goals in UEFA Nations League 2024-25.
Top scorers in UEFA Nations League 2024-25
Viktor Gyokeres of Sweden, Muhammed Kerem Aktürkoğlu of Turkiye and Benjamin Sesko of Slovenia share the honours in the list of top scorers in the UEFA Nations League 2024-25 with four goals each from four matches. Razvan Marin of Romania and Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal follow with three goals each.

Viktor Gyokeres (Sweden)
Viktor Gyokeres of Sweden leads the list of goal scorers in the UEFA Nations League 2024-25 with four goals from four games. He scored from a penalty to open his account in Sweden’s 3-1 win over Azerbaijan in their UEFA Nations League 2024-25 opener.
The 26-year-old Sporting CP forward continued his form, scoring a brace against Estonia in the second game of Group 1 in League C as Sweden completed a comfortable 3-0 win.
Though Gyokeres could not find the net in Sweden’s 2-2 draw against Slovakia, he was back on the score sheet in Sweden’s 3-0 win against Estonia in their fourth game.
Muhammed Kerem Aktürkoğlu (Turkiye)
Muhammed Kerem Aktürkoğlu of Turkiye is next on the list of top goal scorers with four goals from four matches in the UEFA Nations League 2024-25.
Aktürkoğlu was the architect of a stunning turnaround for Turkiye after their UEFA Nations League 2024-25 campaign started with a goalless draw at Wales. Aktürkoğlu, who plies his trade in club football with Benfica, scored a hattrick in Turkiye’s 3-1 win over Iceland in their second game in Group 4 of League B.
The 25-year-old winger again scored in a 4-2 win in Turkiye’s reverse fixture against Iceland.
Benjamin Sesko (Slovenia)
Slovenia’s Benjamin Sesko joins the duo at the top of the goal-scoring charts in the UEFA Nations League 2024-25 with four goals from four games. Sesko scored from the spot in Slovenia’s 1-1 draw against Austria in their opener in Group 3 of League B in the Nations League.
Sesko plays as a forward for German club RB Leipzig and continued his goal-scoring spree with a hattrick in Slovenia’s 3-0 win against Kazakhstan in the next game.
