Mbappé, World Cup Golden Boot
The madridista forward, who scored 10 goals, is the only footballer in history to win this award twice.
Kylian Mbappé has been crowned the top scorer of the World Cup and has won the tournament's Golden Boot. The Real Madrid forward scored a total of 10 goals in this edition, surpassing the 8 goals he netted in the 2022 Qatar World Cup. The Frenchman continues to enhance his legend in World Cup tournaments and is now, in addition to being the top scorer in World Cup history (with 22 goals in 22 matches), the only footballer to win this Golden Boot twice.
Mbappé opened his scoring account in France's debut match by netting a spectacular brace against Senegal, thus becoming the top scorer in his national team's history. The madridista scored another two goals against Iraq and two more against Sweden in the round of 16. He then scored the winning goal against Paraguay in the round of 16 and found the net again against Morocco in the quarterfinals. To cap off his outstanding tournament and secure the trophy, he scored 2 goals in the third-place match against England. Lionel Messi was the second-highest scorer with 8 goals, and Jude Bellingham finished third with 7.
