The race for the top scorer award at the 2026 FIFA World Cup has intensified following the completion of the quarter-finals, with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe leading the scoring charts.
Both superstars have netted eight goals each heading into the semi-finals, placing them at the top of the standings as they continue their pursuit of the tournament’s top scorer award.
Norway striker Erling Haaland finished the competition with seven goals after his country’s quarter-final exit to England, leaving him unable to add to his tally.
England captain Harry Kane and midfielder Jude Bellingham remain firmly in contention with six goals apiece.
Bellingham boosted his chances after scoring both goals in England’s 2-1 victory over Norway to send the Three Lions into the last four.
