Kane vs Dembélé: UCL 25/26 form, Sofascore Rating

Two elite forwards, two very different UEFA Champions League seasons. Sofascore’s comparison of Bayern’s Harry Kane and PSG’s Ousmane Dembélé shows a clear scorer-creator split so far in 25/26. Kane is finishing at a ruthless rate. Dembélé is supplying tempo and volume on the right for the French champions.

Output in front of goal

Kane has 12 goals in 11 Champions League matches, playing 78 minutes per game. His 8.05 xG suggests he is outperforming expectation by almost four goals, with 1.9 shots on target per match and five big chances missed. That production underpins an average Sofascore Rating of 7.94.

Dembélé sits on 4 goals from 10 matches and 583 minutes, with 3.86 xG. He averages 1.0 shot on target per game and has hit the woodwork twice. His goals are split three right‑foot, one left‑foot, with three from inside the box and one from range. He carries a Sofascore Rating of 7.02.

Creating and passing

Both players are on one assist, but their paths to chance creation differ. Kane shows service value with 1.97 xA and five big chances created, plus 2.5 accurate long balls per game at 65.9%. He is less of a crosser but links play centrally.

Dembélé owns 1.56 xA and one big chance created, yet he stacks volume: 19 key passes, 7 accurate crosses at 53.8% and an 85.1% overall pass accuracy, including 233 accurate passes in the opposition half. The Frenchman’s work often starts moves rather than finishing them.

Where they operate

The heatmaps tell the story. Kane lives between the posts but also drops into both channels, a classic No. 9 who can knit attacks and then arrive to finish. His touches cluster around the box and central lanes.

Dembélé stretches the right side, then cuts in to combine, matching his crossing and long-ball numbers. He has logged 87 sprints and a top speed of 33.44 km/h, which tracks with PSG’s direct transitions in Europe.

Duels, dribbles and the small details

Kane wins 3.4 ground duels per game at 56.1% and adds 1.2 aerial wins at 50%, plus 0.5 interceptions and 0.5 clearances. He completes 1.4 dribbles per match at 60% and draws 1.7 fouls.

Dembélé wins 1.1 ground duels per game at 44% and has yet to win an aerial duel. He completes 0.4 dribbles at 40%, loses possession 8.1 times per match and has been flagged offside seven times. Market values listed in the tool read €71m for Kane and €97m for Dembélé.

What it means

Kane’s season is headlined by end product. Twelve goals on 8.05 xG in limited minutes per game is prime centre‑forward output and explains the Ratings gap. Dembélé brings carrying, crossing and a steady creative base that lifts PSG’s right side, even if the finishing numbers are still warming up.

For fans tracking form through the knockout rounds, Sofascore’s comparison view and live Sofascore Rating give a clean read: Bayern’s No. 9 is the finisher of the tournament so far, while PSG’s No. 10 remains the pace-setter out wide.
