Thanks to a hat-trick in the final, Kylian Mbappe, with eight goals, is the top scorer of the 2022 World Cup. Despite a brace in the same final, Lionel Messi, the reigning world champion, finished with seven goals. The Argentine took the top spot in the bootlegger’s ranking, tied in particular with another trapper, Antoine Griezmann.
Of course this will not be forgotten. But, nevertheless, Kylian Mbappe will leave the 2022 edition of the World Cup with the Golden Boot. The Frenchman is the world’s top scorer with eight goals. A total that increased dramatically during the final, which they lost to Argentina, at the end of penalty shootout (3-3, 4 pens 2). But if France can equalize twice, it is thanks to the Parisian, who scored a hat-trick. Mbappe is the second player to score a hat-trick in the World Cup final, after Geoff Hurst, with England against Germany in 1966. Behind him, we find Lionel Messi, with seven goals and a brace. On the other hand, when they had four goals, Argentine Julian Alvarez and Frenchman Olivier Giroud kept silent during the same final match.
As for the best passers-by. The hierarchy has not changed. With three assists, Frenchman Antoine Griezmann, Argentine Lionel Messi, Englishman Harry Kane and Portuguese Bruno Fernandez topped the standings. These four men were joined by a fifth player during Saturday’s minor final. And this famous lucky winner is Croatian Ivan Perisic who thus played a key role in the third place won by his team, against Morocco (2-1). Top-notch Frenchman Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele and Theo Hernandez have all collected assists in this World Cup. They were joined, after the final, by Marcus Thuram.
