Who is leading the race for the Golden Boot?
Argentina’s Lionel Messi currently tops the list with eight goals and one assist. France’s Kylian Mbappe is second with seven goals and two assists. Norway’s Erling Haaland is third and has also scored seven goals. If two or more players have the same number of goals, the winner is determined by the number of assists. England captain Harry Kane is fourth with six goals. In the quarter-finals, these three players will not only focus on getting their teams to the semi-finals, but also try to stay in the race by scoring goals.
Messi scored 8 goals so far
Despite trailing 2-0 in their previous match against Egypt, Argentina staged a strong comeback in the last minute to win 3-2 and book their place in the quarter-finals. Lionel Messi’s third goal was decisive in Argentina’s victory. With this goal, he has once again taken the lead in the race for the tournament’s Golden Boot.
Messi still hasn’t won the Golden Boot
Considered one of the best players in the world of football, Lionel Messi has yet to win the Golden Boot. In the previous World Cup in 2022, Messi finished second with seven goals. On the other hand, Kylian Mbappe won the award with eight goals in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Harry Kane won the award in 2018 with six goals and Colombia’s James Rodriguez also won the Golden Boot in 2014 with six goals. So, Lionel Messi has a great chance to win this award this year.
