Kylian Mbappé has claimed the Golden Boot at the 2025 FIFA World Cup, finishing as the tournament’s top scorer with eight goals. The French forward was in sensational form throughout the competition, displaying speed, precision, and composure that lit up stadiums and left defenders in his wake. From the group stage to the final, Mbappé proved unstoppable. He scored in every stage of the tournament, including a stunning hat trick in the final against Argentina, a feat rarely seen in World Cup history. His goals were not only plentiful but also vital, rescuing France from difficult positions and propelling them to the title. In the final, when France trailed 2-0, Mbappé pulled his team back with two quick goals, a penalty and a sublime volley. In extra time, he converted another penalty to complete his hat trick, becoming only the second player to score three goals in a World Cup final. Though the match went to penalties, where France ultimately triumphed, it was Mbappé who carried them to that moment. Beyond his goals, his overall play was exceptional.

French coach Didier Deschamps praised Mbappé as “a once in a generation player” and credited him for lifting the team during its toughest moments. Fans around the world celebrated his performances, and many are already calling this his defining tournament. With his second World Cup title and now a Golden Boot to his name, Kylian Mbappé has further cemented his legacy. The football world watches with anticipation to see what more he can achieve.
