From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The UEFA Europa League is the second most important club competition in Europe organized by UEFA . Originally a knockout competition, it later evolved to include group stages and a series of qualifying rounds. It was known as the UEFA Cup from its inception in 1971 until a re-branding in 2009. This article lists both the competition's seasonal top scorers and overall top scorers, including a list of goals scored in the competition proper and a list of goals scored including qualifying rounds.
