At Qatar 2022, Messi became the first player to win both the Golden Boot and Golden Ball at the same World Cup. Seven goles in the tournament as Argentina won the title. His tearful celebration after the final is one of sport's greatest images.

goles
Fontaine marcó 13 goles solo en el torneo de 1958 — un récord de un solo torneo que quizás nunca se rompa. He averaged over 2 goles per game in Sweden, yet played only one World Cup due to injury. A tragic genius.

goles
"Der Bomber." His 10 goles at the 1970 World Cup were the most in any single tournament until Fontaine's record became more widely recognized. A box scorer of extraordinary efficiency across just two tournaments.

goles
The King. Four World Cups, three titles (1958, 1962, 1970), and 12 goles despite being frequently targeted by brutal fouling. His 1970 Brazil side is widely considered the greatest World Cup team ever assembled.

Con solo 25 años (en 2025), Mbappé es el máximo goleador activo. Su hat-trick en la final de 2022 — en un bando perdedor — es de leyenda. El torneo de 2026 podría verle desafiar el récord de Klose.

goles
Hungary's "Golden Team" of 1954 was arguably the greatest side of its era — and Kocsis scored 11 goles in a single tournament. Hungary were beaten finalists, losing 2-3 to West Germany in a stunning upset. He played only one World Cup.
1954: 11G ⭐ 2º total más alto en un torneo
The nations that dominate: Germany, Brazil & France
Looking at the top scorers, three nations stand out: Germany (Klose + Müller = 30 goles between two players), Brazil (Ronaldo + Pelé), and France (Fontaine + Mbappé). All three are 2026 contenders. Could Mbappé rewrite history?
