France forward Kylian Mbappe wins the FIFA World Cup 2022 Golden Boot Award with eight goals |
The 23-year-old put together another stellar campaign in the tournament, setting the world alight despite being unable to replicate France’s triumph of 2018.
While he didn’t win the trophy back-to-back, his all-time performance in the final will go down in history and caps off an exceptional showing, having bagged eight goals throughout the tournament.
At just 23, he is comfortably the best player in the world and is already forcing himself into the conversation of the greatest footballers ever.
His exploits in the Middle East mean he’s now scored 12 times at the World Cup, putting him level with Pele and just four goals behind Miroslav Klose, who holds the record with 16 goals.90min
