Fourteen. That’s how many Michelob ULTRA Superior Player of the Match awards have gone to players who call Real Madrid home during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. For context, Barcelona’s count sits at a clean zero.
The names behind the numbers
Vinícius Júnior has been the most absurd individual performer of the tournament so far. The Brazilian forward collected a Player of the Match award in every single one of Brazil’s group stage games. Not some of them. All of them.
Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé have each stacked multiple awards of their own, representing England and France respectively.
The MOTM awards are determined by fan voting across all 104 matches of the tournament.
