Crystal Palace’s European history is relatively short compared with many Premier League clubs, but the Eagles have already produced a new generation of continental goalscorers. Palace’s first UEFA appearance came in the 1998 Intertoto Cup, where they lost 4-0 on aggregate to Samsunspor without scoring.
Their next UEFA campaign did not arrive until the 2025/26 Conference League, which Crystal Palace won, before entering the 2026/27 Europa League.
Below are Crystal Palace Top 5 European Competition Top Scorers.
1. Ismaila Sarr 9 goals
Ismaila Sarr is comfortably Crystal Palace’s leading scorer in UEFA competition after his outstanding 2025/26 Conference League campaign. The Senegal international finished as top scorer with nine goals, helping Palace win their first major European trophy. Sarr scored three times during the league phase before adding two against AEK Larnaca, two across the quarter-final against Fiorentina and two in the semi-final against Shakhtar Donetsk.
2. Jean-Philippe Mateta 3 goals
Jean-Philippe Mateta sits next on three European goals. The striker is credited with three goals in the 2025/26 Conference League campaign. His first European goal came against Fredrikstad in Palace’s qualifying tie, while he later scored against Fiorentina in the quarter-final and supplied the decisive goal in the final against Rayo Vallecano. Mateta scored the final goal that gave Palace their first European trophy.
2. Eddie Nketiah 3 goals
Eddie Nketiah is level with Mateta on three goals after adding to his two Conference League strikes with another goal in Palace’s opening 2026/27 Europa League match. UEFA’s Conference League records list Nketiah on two goals for the 2025/26 campaign, while the UEFA Europa League squad statistics show he scored in Palace’s 4-0 victory over Lech Poznań on 17 September 2026. That takes his combined UEFA total for Palace to three.
3. Maxence Lacroix 2 goals
Maxence Lacroix is among three players tied on two European goals for Palace. UEFA’s official Conference League history lists the French defender with two goals during Palace’s 2025/26 title-winning campaign. Lacroix also played 16 matches in that competition, highlighting how prominent he was during the Eagles’ run to Leipzig.
3. Tyrick Mitchell 2 goals
Tyrick Mitchell also has two UEFA goals for Crystal Palace. His best-known European contribution came in the first leg of the quarter-final against Fiorentina, when he scored Palace’s second goal in a 3-0 victory at Selhurst Park. UEFA’s competition history lists Mitchell on two goals, while Palace’s official match report confirms his strike against the Italian side.
3. Christantus Uche 2 goals
Christantus Uche completes the group of players tied on two goals. UEFA’s records credit the Nigerian midfielder with two Conference League goals, including his memorable finish against KuPS in December 2025. UEFA later selected that strike as the second-best goal of the 2025/26 Conference League season, adding another notable moment to Uche’s European record.
The figures are based on official UEFA competition records and Palace’s official match reports and are correct till 27th September, 2026.
