‘I Don’t Care About Golden Boot’ – Mbappé After Overtaking Messi on World Cup Scoring List

‘I Don’t Care About Golden Boot’ – Mbappé After Overtaking Messi on World Cup Scoring List

Kylian Mbappé moved past Lionel Messi on the World Cup’s all-time scoring chart with two goals in France’s 6-4 third-place defeat to England. His tally of 22 goals also makes him one of only four players to net 10 or more in a single tournament. Despite the record, Mbappé said he would swap the top-scorer honour for a place in the final. He praised Messi’s pedigree and expects him to respond when Argentina face Spain next. The France forward admitted the fourth-place finish hurt more than any personal milestone.

It's curious that a player breaking records in a high-scoring game still dismisses personal accolades so casually.

Honestly, is it really modesty or just deflecting attention from France's defeat in that 6-4 thriller?

Focusing on team cohesion and defensive tweaks might help France tighten matches, even when their attack delivers plenty of goals.
