Messi may cancel the record at the final if he scores two goals.

It’s not possible against Spain, Spanish players knows Messi better and even better selling fouls on the pitch , unlike France 🇫🇷 and England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 that played clean entertaining games, the Final will be dirty

The same way the Spanish players know Messi better is the same way Messi knows them. He spent most of his best career years playing with them.


And guess what... As much as they knew him they were never able to contain him.


It's going to be a close game with a tight score line but I'm hoping Argentina wins and Messi wins the golden boot. That guy deserves it for what he did for football.

Fraudnaldo has no WC hat trick to his name while Saka got one against quality opposition yesterday

mayor1814:
Messi needs three/two goals and one more assist. Omo forget it, Mbappe already has d golden boot. Messi will find it very hard... Very hard gan ni to even score one vs Spain. Spanish midfield under General Rodri will frustrate Argentina.


Messi and Argentina should jus focus on d game. Spain na wicked team

Mbappé Standalone Kingship as All-Time World Cup Top Scorer
History has rewritten itself on football's grandest stage. In a breathtaking individual tournament run, France’s Kylian Mbappé has officially become the highest goalscorer in FIFA World Cup history.
By finding the back of the net twice in France's recent outing against England, Mbappé took his career World Cup tally to an unprecedented 22 goals. This monumental achievement pushes him past Argentina's legendary Lionel Messi, who had briefly claimed the crown earlier in the 2026 tournament to reach 21 total goals.
The Great Ascent: All-Time World Cup Top Scorers
The race at the top of soccer history has reached its boiling point. Here is how the historic leaderboard looks following Mbappé's masterclass:
1. Kylian Mbappé 🇫🇷 (France) — 22 Goals| 22 Matches Played
2. Lionel Messi 🇦🇷 (Argentina) — 21 Goals | 33 Matches Played
3. Miroslav Klose 🇩🇪 (Germany) — 16 Goals | 24 Matches Played
4. Ronaldo 🇧🇷Brazil) — 15 Goals | 19 Matches Played
5. Gerd Müller 🇩🇪(West Germany) — 14 Goals| 13 Matches Played
### ⚡ Breaking Down the Numbers: Mbappé vs. Messi
The speed with which the 27-year-old French captain has dismantled this record is nothing short of terrifying for global defenses.
* **Efficiency Extraordinaire:** Mbappé reached his **22-goal milestone** in exactly **22 World Cup appearances**, maintaining a flawless 1.0 goal-per-game ratio on the biggest stage.
* **The Longevity Contrast:** In comparison, Lionel Messi scored his 21st World Cup goal in his 31st appearance for Argentina at 39 years old. Mbappé has bypassed that mountain nearly a decade younger than his former PSG teammate.
* **Tournament Breakdown:** Mbappé's legacy features 4 goals in Russia 2018, an outstanding 8 goals in Qatar 2022, and another blistering 10 goals over the course of the 2026 campaign to fully claim the throne.
While Messi’s multi-generational brilliance and magical tournament moments will remain etched in football folklore forever, the mantle of the World Cup's ultimate marksman has unequivocally shifted to Kylian Mbappé. At just 27, he isn't just chasing history—he's pulling completely out of sight.
