HOW THE GOLDEN BOOT GOES
Historical context · Last 3 World CupsUntil WC2026 kicks off on 11 June, here's how the Golden Boot race finished in the last three tournaments. Mbappé's 8 in Qatar is the high-water mark of the modern era; group-stage form is a strong signal but rarely decisive — every winner since 2014 has been a knockout-round scorer too.
