Aim. The 2023/2024 football season in Europe's top five leagues (Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, and Ligue 1) revealed unique trends in goal scoring and tactical behavior among elite goal scorers. The study's main objective is to investigate the technical-tactical actions of the top scorers. Methods. This study examines the technical and tactical profiles of the top scorers, analyzing key performance indicators, including goals scored, assists, shots, and offensive duels, to identify patterns and correlations in their play styles. The findings reveal insights into scoring efficiency, tactical adaptability, and the attributes necessary for success in elite European football. Results. The players studied (30) were aged between 21 and 35 years, with an average age of 27.43 years, an average height of 182.83 cm, a range of 170-195 cm, and an average weight of 76.97 kg, with a range of 65-94 kg. Conclusions. Goal scorers will be more involved in team attacks, dribbling, and tackling. More shots mean more shots on goal and more touches in the penalty area.
