Kylian Mbappé becomes all‑time World Cup top scorer as Spain wins 2026 title

Kylian Mbappé finished the FIFA World Cup 2026 as the tournament’s top scorer with ten goals, becoming the first player to win the Golden Boot in consecutive editions and surpassing Gerd Müller’s 1970 record. His 22 career World Cup goals now place him ahead of Lionel Messi’s 21. Spain claimed the championship, winning the final 1‑0 over Argentina in New Jersey, conceding only one goal throughout the competition and setting a new defensive record. Midfielder Rodri was named the tournament’s best player, goalkeeper Unai Simón earned the best goalkeeper award, and defender Pau Cubarsi received the best young player honour. FIFA opened a fan vote for the “most beautiful goal” of the tournament, nominating 12 strikes including goals by Ferran Torres, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland. Separate reports noted Mbappé’s confrontation with French federation president Philippe Diallo over bonus criteria before the tournament, and his appearance in Miami with Spanish actress Ester Expósito after the final. In Spain, the omission of Cubarsi and Aymeric Laporte from FIFA’s fans’ Team‑of‑the‑Tournament shortlist sparked criticism.
