Hakimi Leads from Right-Back – and That Is Unusual
Eight assists from a right-back. Achraf Hakimi has been the most creative player in this season’s Champions League – which tells you everything about how PSG use him. He is not just an overlapping full-back, he is a primary creator.
That makes him a genuinely interesting bet builder option in the assist market for the semi-final against Bayern.
Behind him, Vinicius Jr has 7 assists. He also appears in the SOT top 5, which we will come to below. He is the only player in this dataset who features heavily in both creation and shooting – the all-round attacking threat of the tournament.
Michael Olise at 7 assists shows how Bayern have evolved their attacking play. He has become their primary creative hub wide, and his numbers this season have been exceptional.
Champions League SOT Leaders 2025-26
- Kylian Mbappe – 30 shots on target
- Victor Osimhen – 25
- Harry Kane – 24
- Julian Alvarez – 22
- Erling Haaland – 20
- Vinicius Jr – 20
- Harvey Barnes – 19
- Michael Olise – 18
- Khvicha Kvaratskhelia – 16
- Mason Greenwood – 16
Kvaratskhelia Appears in Both Lists
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is in the top 10 for both assists (5) and shots on target (16). PSG have two elite creators in Hakimi and Kvaratskhelia – and both appear across multiple markets.
Vinicius Jr is the same story for Real Madrid – 7 assists and 20 SOT. He is the most complete attacking threat in the draw, and his price in the assist and shot markets should reflect that.
Harvey Barnes – the Surprise Package
Harvey Barnes has 19 shots on target in this UCL campaign – third highest among wingers in the entire tournament. He also has 4 assists. With Arsenal in the semis facing Atletico, he is a serious option for anyone building UCL bet builder legs.
Harry Kane sits third in the SOT rankings at 24 – elite numbers that reinforce his status as the best penalty box striker in the tournament. Bayern vs PSG is live, and Kane at this rate is a must-consider for the shot on target market.
Semi-Final Betting Angles
Arsenal vs Atletico and Bayern vs PSG. The chance creation data points to Hakimi (assist), Kvaratskhelia (assist + SOT), Vinicius (if playing), Kane (SOT), and Barnes (SOT) as the names to build around.
