BBC Sport · 18 hours ago

Kylian Mbappe has been confirmed as the winner of the Golden Boot for the 2026 World Cup, finishing as the tournament's top scorer for a second consecutive time. A BBC Sport video rounds up the goals that secured his victory, with Lionel Messi, Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland completing the chasing pack. Mbappe's achievement makes him the first player to win the award twice, underlining his status as one of the era's most prolific tournament performers.

The report accompanies news that Rodri was separately named the tournament's best player, with the France forward's Golden Boot success framed alongside that award. Specific goal tallies were not detailed in the available text, and the video content is restricted to UK-based viewers.
