The team that has scored the maximum number of goals from the left foot in the current Champions League season is Manchester City. The defending Premier League champions have been in supreme form all season. They are now only a win short of retaining their league crown. Even in the Champions League, they are the favourites to go through. After securing a hard-earned 1-1 draw away at Real Madrid in the first leg of the semi-finals, Man City are backed by many to complete the job in the second leg.

Pep Guardiola’s side could very well create history this season by winning an unprecedented treble. Manchester City are just few points shy of retaining the Premier League title and are sitting comfortably in the semi-final of the Champions League. Besides, Man City are in the FA Cup final where they will face local rivals Manchester United for the trophy. With form on their side, very few people can bet against City winning them all. Let us look at in depth about the teams that have scored the most left foot goals in the current UCL season.

Which clubs have scored the most left foot goals?

Manchester City sit comfortably above everyone in this table by scoring 14 left foot goals from 11 Champions League matches this season. They have scored an overall total of 27 goals in the competition this time around. Out of which majority have come from the left foot. With Man City favoured by many to go further in the competition, they could very well extend this tally. Second in the table is another Premier League club in the form of Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp’s side were eliminated from the first knockout round itself. Despite their early exit, they are sitting comfortably in this table on second position with 10 left foot goals. With Liverpool being knocked out of the tournament, it is unclear if they will hold on to this position at the end of the season. Third position in this list is occupied by two clubs. Defending champions Real Madrid and Napoli are the two sides. It is not a surprise to see them both at the top end of this table since they have been in stellar form this time around. They both have scored nine left foot goals so far in this Champions League season.

Which are the other teams in the list?

AC Milan have eight left foot goals to their name, while Inter Milan have managed seven left foot strikes, which is the same for French giants Paris Saint-Germain in the current Champions League campaign. There is also a place for Chelsea, Barcelona and Juventus in this list.
