Højlund's 2026/27 season, read from the numbers
In 2026/27, R. Højlund was used in rotation for Napoli in the Serie A: 5 appearances and 363 minutes, averaging 73 minutes per outing. The number that flatters him most is match rating — 449th of 702 attackers and inside the top 64%.
Per 90 minutes that is 0.5 goals per 90, 1.5 shots per 90 and 67% of his shots on target — the rate profile behind Højlund's totals. The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against attackers, Højlund sits in the top 5% for goalscoring but only the top 63% for tackling volume.
Set against Højlund's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he has managed 12 in a season before, so 4 is well short of his own mark; he is playing far less than he once did — 699 minutes against 2761 at his peak; his average match rating has risen from 6.57 to 6.77 since 2025/26. Our records cover 5 seasons of Højlund's career, 2022/23 to 2026/27, across 4 clubs — Atalanta, Sturm Graz, Manchester United, Napoli. In that time he has played 190 matches across 11 competitions, 13,107 minutes in all.
His best return on our records was 16 goals in 2022/23, from 42 appearances. He is 6 appearances into the current one. Højlund has 31 appearances in UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League on our records, and the gap is real: he is roughly 1.6 times more productive in Europe, 0.36 per 90 domestically against 0.58 in Europe.
Højlund has reached 15 goals in a season 3 times, between 2022/23 and 2025/26 — a level held rather than found once. Away from his club, Højlund has 28 appearances for Denmark on our records, scoring 14 — across UEFA Nations League, Euro Championship - Qualification and World Cup - Qualification Europe.
Treat these rates carefully. At 363 minutes — roughly 4 full matches — Højlund is 537 short of our 900-minute qualifying floor, so he does not appear on the ranking boards: on a sample this size two good afternoons move a per-90 number further than a month of steady form.
How these scores are built, and the minutes and rating floors a player must clear to appear on our boards, are set out in our methodology.
