Joshua Kimmich has been identified as the most dangerous chance creator in European football, leaving stars like Mohamed Salah and Kylian Mbappe far behind in the statistics.
The Bayern Munich midfielder has been in outstanding form this season, and the numbers confirm his influence. According to official data, Kimmich has created more scoring opportunities than any other player across Europe’s top leagues.
The German international has registered a total of 87 chances created so far in the 2025-2026 campaign. That puts him well clear of the competition.
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah sits in second place with 68 chances created, while Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe is further back with 61. The gap between Kimmich and his closest rival is a significant 19 chances.
Kimmich’s creativity has been a key factor for Bayern Munich this season. The 30-year-old operates from midfield but consistently finds ways to unlock defences with his passing range and vision.
His ability to deliver dangerous balls from set pieces and open play has made him an essential part of the Bayern setup. The numbers confirm what many observers have already noticed: Kimmich is operating at an elite level when it comes to creating opportunities for his teammates.
Salah’s second-place finish is no surprise given his consistent output for Liverpool, while Mbappe’s total reflects his continued threat despite playing in a star-studded PSG side.
But the clear leader is Kimmich, and the gap between him and the rest of Europe’s elite attackers underlines just how influential he has been in the 2025-2026 season.
