This historic group of six features:

• Kylian Mbappé — 10 goals
• Lionel Messi — 8
• Jude Bellingham — 7

Mbappé remains at the top of the golden boot race, finishing the tournament with an outstanding ten goals. The Frenchman is the first player since Gerd Müller at the 1970 World Cup to reach double digits in a single tournament.

Yet Messi still has a chance to improve his tally: Argentina will play Spain in the final. Heading into this decisive match, the Argentine star trails Mbappé by two goals.
