Mbappe seals second straight World Cup Golden Boot

Sports|7/21/2026

Kylian Mbappe wins the 2026 World Cup Golden Boot with nine goals, adding to his 2022 scoring award and reaching 20 goals in 20 World Cup games.

France forward Kylian Mbappe secured the Golden Boot at the 2026 World Cup, finishing the tournament with nine goals. The striker topped the scoring charts once again, adding a new highlight to his international career on the biggest stage.

This latest achievement means Mbappe has now collected consecutive World Cup Golden Boot honours, having already claimed the same individual scoring prize at the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Consecutive awards place him among the most prolific finishers in the history of the competition, underlining his status as the focal point of France's attack.

Across his World Cup appearances, Mbappe has maintained an exceptional level of efficiency. He has recorded 20 goals in 20 matches at the tournament, averaging a goal per game. That strike rate stands out as an elite benchmark among forwards in World Cup play and reinforces his reputation as one of the most decisive players in modern international football.
