Kylian Mbappe has quickly emerged as the biggest threat to Erling Haaland in the Champions League top scorer odds market.
A brace for Mbappe meant Haaland remained fairly stable at the head of the Champions League top scorer market despite scoring twice himself in Manchester City's opener in Seville.
The 23-year-old Mbappe was available for as long as 9/1 before kick-off in Paris, while Haaland was a general 7/4 (3/1 best in places). Two goals later for both of them and Haaland is now best price 7/4, while Mbappe is 4/1 (7/2 in places).

Despite his big reduction in best price, there might still be value in Mbappe as PSG have now ticked off one game against their biggest Group H rivals Juventus. They won't play The Old Lady again until the final matchday, with a pair of matches against Benfica and Maccabi Haifa before then.
Haaland, meanwhile, carried his explosive Premier League form into the Champions League but will play Dortmund twice across the next four matchdays - the German side emerged comfortable 3-0 winners against Copenhagen last night.
So, who will be the Market Movers tonight?
If Mbappe showed the way to rival the irrepressible Haaland, who are the likeliest players to shorten in the Champions League top scorer market tonight? Both Robert Lewandowski (14/1), runner up in last year’s Ballon d’Or, and Mohamed Salah (17/1) are now available at a huge price.
The Egyptian King has been all the way to the final three times in the past five seasons (winning it in 2018/19), while Lewandowski (2019/20 winner) sits third in the all-time UEFA Champions League top scorers list with 86 behind only Cristiano Ronaldo (140) and Lionel Messi (125).
And what about an even bigger outsider? Harry Kane can be backed at a best price 25/1 (worst price 16/1) before kick-off in a favourable looking Group D for Antonio Conte’s Spurs. In the last season Spurs contested the Champions League (2019/20), Kane became the fastest player to score 20 goals in the UEFA Champions League era, reaching that mark in just 24 games.
