Summary

Kylian Mbappé won his second consecutive FIFA World Cup Golden Boot by finishing the 2026 tournament with 10 goals

Lionel Messi finished second in the scoring race with eight goals after going goalless in Argentina’s final loss to Spain

The French forward also established a new tournament record by reaching 22 all-time career World Cup goals

FIFA has officially awarded the 2026 FIFA World Cup Golden Boot to French superstar Kylian Mbappé following the conclusion of the tournament. The 27-year-old forward secured his second consecutive scoring title by finishing with 10 goals, edging out rival Lionel Messi.

Mbappé solidified his lead by netting two goals during France’s 6-4 third-place playoff against England, bringing his total to 10 goals alongside four assists. The performance cemented Mbappé as the first player in football history to win back-to-back Golden Boots, while simultaneously elevating his career tournament total to 22 goals to make him the all-time leading scorer in World Cup history.

Messi entered the championship match against Spain with eight goals, needing a multi-goal performance to challenge for the scoring crown. However, miserly Spanish defending kept the 39-year-old captain goalless throughout 120 minutes as Argentina fell 1-0 in extra time. With both players tied on four assists, Mbappé’s two-goal cushion secured his top position on the final leaderboard.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup officially concluded on July 19, 2026, with Spain crowned champions and Mbappé receiving his second Golden Boot trophy.
