Messi vs Mbappé: Final Showdown for the Golden Boot
Kylian Mbappé’s brace in France’s 6-4 loss to England put him two goals ahead of Lionel Messi in the Golden Boot race. Messi still has one match left against Spain to catch up. If he nets twice and matches Mbappé’s tally, he wins on assists. Mbappé’s double moved his tournament total to 10 goals, the first player to reach double figures in a World Cup since 1970. He also leads the all-time World Cup scoring chart with 22 goals, one ahead of Messi. England’s Jude Bellingham sits third with seven goals—the most by an Englishman in a single World Cup—edging Erling Haaland on assists. With the final on the horizon, football fans are in for a thrilling conclusion.
