SportFootballWorld Cup 2026The race for the 2026 World Cup Golden Boot has been decided as Spain secured a 1-0 win over Argentina in Sunday's grand final in New Jersey23:03, 19 Jul 2026Updated 23:05, 19 Jul 2026Kylian Mbappe has won the race to the 2026 World Cup Golden Boot, finishing the competition on 10 goals after a stellar tournament in North America. That's despite Lionel Messi having a major advantage in the opportunity to bolster his own tally of eight during Sunday's final against Spain.‌The 39-year-old was unable to do so, however, with his nation suffering heartbreak at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey in the form of a 1-0 loss in extra-time. Ferran Torres broke the deadlock for the European champions 106 minutes into play, not only to give his nation the lead, but ultimately win the match.‌It was a remarkable tournament for Mbappe, who proved himself once more on the World Stage in North America. The 27-year-old kickstarted his tournament with a boom last month, bagging a brace in a 3-1 opening day win against Senegal.‌He then secured a further two goals in his nation's next Group I match, as France secured a 3-0 win over Iraq in routine fashion. While he was unable to find the scoresheet during a 4-1 win over Norway in his nation's final group stage match, Mbappe was once again in flying form against Sweden in the round of 32, taking his total tally to six with another two goals in a 3-0 win.The full Golden Boot standings from the 2026 World Cup...Kylian Mbappe (France) - 10Lionel Messi (Argentina) - 8Jude Bellingham (England) - 7Erling Haaland (Norway) - 7Ousmane Dembele (France) - 6Harry Kane (England) - 6Mikel Oyarzabal (Spain) - 5Ismaila Sarr (Senegal) - 4Julian Quinones (Mexico) - 4Vinicius Jr (Brazil) - 4Deniz Undav (Germany) - 3Johan Manzambi (Switzerland) - 3Romelu Lukaku (Belgium) - 3Lautaro Martinez (Argentina) - 3Charles De Ketelaere (Belgium) - 3Cody Gakpo (Netherlands) - 3Brian Brobbey (Netherlands) - 3Elijah Just (New Zealand) - 3Matheus Cunha (Brazil) - 3Folarin Balogun (USA) - 3Raul Jimenez (Mexico) - 3Kai Havertz (Germany) - 3Yoane Wissa (DR Congo) - 3Ismael Saibari (Morocco) - 3Jonathan David (Canada) - 3Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) - 3Article continues belowThere will be more to follow on this breaking news story and Mirror Sport will bring you the very latest updates, pictures and video as soon as possible.Please check back regularly for updates on this developing story.Follow us on Google News, Flipboard, Apple News, Twitter, Facebook or visit The Mirror homepage.Choose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.‌Kylian MbappeLionel MessiWorld Cup 2026Argentina football teamSpain football teamFrance football teamCristiano RonaldoHarry Kane
