Kylian Mbappe won the 2026 World Cup Golden Boot with 10 goals, finishing two clear of Lionel Messi.

The Argentina great was unable to respond to Mbappe's two goals in France's 6-4 defeat to England in the third-place play-off on Saturday, drawing a blank as Spain won Sunday's World Cup final 1-0.

Mbappe becomes the first player to win the World Cup Golden Boot twice, having also claimed the prize at Qatar 2022.

Mbappe is also the World Cup's all-time top scorer with 22.

Messi ended the tournament with eight goals. Erling Haaland and Jude Bellingham scored seven, while Harry Kane scored six.
