Russo started the season with goals on the opening matchdays against OL Lyonnes and Benfica, and she added two more in a 2-1 comeback win against Madrid. The England forward then struck three times in Arsenal's knockout phase play-off against OH Leuven, with her eighth coming in the Gunners' 3-1 quarter-final first-leg triumph over Chelsea.

Harder finished the league phase on five goals, though with her Bayern team automatically through to the quarter-finals, that gave other players to chance to catch up. Nevertheless, she picked up where she left by hitting a double in Bayern's last-eight opener at Manchester United, the same day Pajor struck twice in Barcelona's 6-2 victory at Real Madrid to increase her own tally to six.

The Polish forward was on target again as Barcelona stamped their ticket to the final four, in the process becoming the first Polish player to reach 40 goals in UEFA women's club competition.
