RB Leipzig star boasts better scoring rate than Mbappé and Kane
Rômulo has averaged a goal every 79 minutes for RB Leipzig this season. His return of 1.13 goals per 90 minutes puts him ahead of Kylian Mbappé and Harry Kane.
After missing the start of the season through injury, the Brazilian forward has made an impressive return in the Bundesliga. He needed just one shot to take his league tally to five goals in last week’s 5–2 win over Augsburg.
Those five goals have come in just 397 minutes on the pitch — a scoring rate that compares favourably with two of Europe’s leading forwards.
Goals per 90 minutes
| Player / league | Goals / 90 |
|---|---|
| Rômulo RB Leipzig · Bundesliga | 1.13 |
| Kylian Mbappé Real Madrid · La Liga | 1.09 |
| Harry Kane Bayern Munich · Bundesliga | 0.50 |
Rômulo has also been clinical with his chances, converting five of his 11 Bundesliga shots for a conversion rate of 45.5 percent.
For comparison, Barcelona’s Raphinha has converted 39.5 percent of his shots in La Liga, while Mbappé’s figure stands at 20.3 percent. Kane has converted 9.3 percent of his Bundesliga attempts.
The 24-year-old also scored in Thursday’s 4–5 friendly defeat to Mladá Boleslav. He will look to maintain his scoring form when Leipzig travel to Union Berlin on November 21, following the international break.
