The FIFA Club World Cup kicks off this week as the tournament is revamped to feature 32 of the best teams from around the world.
The elite from Europe, Asia, South America, Africa, and Oceania will compete, and all the action will be live for free on DAZN.
Among those clubs, the tournament will feature some of the best goal-getters on the planet, who will all be vying to be the competition's top scorer.
Speaking ahead of the summer extravaganza, German legend Michael Ballack believes you can't look past the European teams when it comes to who will top the goalscoring chart.
"Top scorer is difficult. We know all the European teams, and so those players, for me, would be the favourite," Ballack said at the launch of the Club World Cup Trophy Tour in New York.
"We have the best players playing in Europe; you have (Kylian) Mbappe, at Bayern, there's (Jamal) Musiala and Harry Kane. I think there's a lot of players we can look forward to seeing."
The former Chelsea midfielder also expressed his excitement about the new format and how the tournament might pan out.
Adding: "To be honest, nobody knows what we can expect. We can expect great teams. They have chosen the right balance, like a World Cup, but it's a new format and so I'm really looking forward to seeing how the teams present themselves."
