Kylian Mbappe Receives Golden Boot for 2026 World Cup
Kylian Mbappe, the captain of the France national football team, officially received the Golden Boot award for his outstanding performance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He announced this achievement on his Instagram page on Thursday.
The 27-year-old forward scored a total of 10 goals in eight matches during the tournament. Notably, he scored twice in France's 6-4 defeat to England in the third-place play-off.
This accomplishment made Mbappe the first men's player to win the Golden Boot in consecutive World Cups. Additionally, he became the first player to score double figures in a single men's World Cup since Gerd Müller of West Germany in 1970.
Mbappe is now looking forward to this accolade aiding his pursuit of the Ballon d'Or award later this month.
