The finishers who defined the Europa League
For all the talk of it being a second-tier competition, the Europa League has been a stage for some of Europe's most ruthless strikers. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leads them all with 34 goals, a tally built at Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal, Marseille and Barcelona that no one has come close to matching.
Right behind him is Radamel Falcao, whose 30 goals came in the years he was the most feared centre-forward on the continent, winning the trophy with both Porto and Atlético Madrid. Behind the Colombian, a group of modern names, Bruno Fernandes, Romelu Lukaku, Aritz Aduriz and Alexandre Lacazette, sit close together near the top.
One name people expect to see is Henrik Larsson. He is the all-time leader once qualifying-round goals are added, with 40, but UEFA's headline list counts only the proper rounds from the group stage onwards, which is the basis used here.
