Lionel Messi breezed through Leagues Cup in 2023 to win the top goalscorer award, but someone else will win it this season with Inter Miami having been eliminated.
Messi, who had just joined Inter Miami ahead of the 2023 edition, netted 10 goals in seven games to take home top scorer honors.
There are plenty of players battling on the goalscoring charts heading into the quarterfinals, but will anyone match the GOAT in terms of how prolific he was last year?
Denis Bouanga (Los Angeles FC) | -200 |
Tai Baribo (Philadelphia Union) | +200 |
Diego Rossi (Columbus Crew) | +550 |
Cristian Olivera (Los Angeles FC) | +650 |
Mateusz Bogusz (Los Angeles FC) | +6600 |
Leal Rafael Navarro (Colorado Rapids) | +8000 |
Mikael Uhre (Philadelphia Union) | +8000 |
Juan Hernandez (Columbus Crew) | +12500 |
Los Angeles FC attacker Denis Bouanga, with five goals under his belt in five Leagues Cup games, is the new favorite to be the competition's top scorer in 2024.
Bouanga has five goals in five games, as well as three assists. LAFC's prolific attack has ran through the Gabon international for the last season and a half, and that shows no signs of changing.
Philadelphia Union striker Tai Baribo - with five goals in five games - got sent off in the quarterfinals and will miss the semifinals as a result, and his odds are now +200 after he had been the -175 favorite heading into the last eight.
Diego Rossi, the Columbus Crew's talented striker, is third in the odds with four goals to his name. He has been super efficient, especially as his team played two fewer matches than every other side due to its group stage bye, and he has scored every 64 minutes of play in this year's Leagues Cup.
Fourth in the odds is Cristian Olivera of LAFC, who has played second fiddle to Bouanga but still has bagged four goals and two assists in just 289 minutes of play.
The next players in the market are LAFC's Mateusz Bogusz, the Colorado Rapids' Leal Rafael Navarro, Mikael Uhre of the Union, Juan 'Cucho' Hernandez of the Crew, Daniel Gazdag of the Union, and LAFC's Olivier Giroud, all at a price of 66/1 or longer.
