France's Kylian Mbappé Wins Golden Boot As World Cup's Top Goalscorer

Kylian Mbappé won the 2026 World Cup Golden Boot despite France not reaching the final — a standout personal achievement to chat about.
He finished with 10 goals, overtaking Lionel Messi as the all-time World Cup goals leader.
Historic company: Mbappé is the first player to win the Golden Boot twice and joins a tiny group of players to score 10+ in a single tournament (e.g., Just Fontaine, Gerd Müller).
