Crunching the numbers, the Greek international, despite his quieter phase in recent matches, remains the team's top scorer, with a total of 28 goals in all competitions. With Schjelderup in second place, the podium is completed by Franjo Ivanovic, who, despite his limited playtime, has five accurate shots.

It is already, by far, the best season for the 21-year-old winger since he joined Benfica in the winter of 2023. Besides the goal tally, where the Norwegian already has one more compared to 2024/25, his performance and direct influence in games have also risen exponentially. Some already consider him the new talisman of Benfica.

This season, playing for Benfica, Andreas Schjelderup - valued at 14 million euros - has played a total of 33 official matches: 18 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 10 in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup, and one in the League Cup. In the 1,763 minutes he has been on the pitch, he has recorded six goals and three assists.
