Longest scoring runs for top 5 leagues in XXI century
Following the topic about new goal-scoring streaks of Haaland, Mbappé, and Kane, here we publish a ranking of the longest such feats for players from the top five European leagues in the XXI century.
Series of all official games (G) for the club and national team are considered.
Never before have three players (or even two) produced a streak of 10+ games simultaneously.
Haaland's 12-game scoring run is joint-second on the ranking, behind only Robert Lewandowski, who has scored in 14 consecutive games in 2021.
