Messi's Final Push for 2026 World Cup Golden Boot

Lionel Messi, 39, has eight goals and four assists in the 2026 World Cup and led the Golden Boot race entering the final games, but a high-scoring Bronze Final by Mbappé (finishing on 10 goals) reshuffled the standings; to win, Messi would likely need a hat-trick in the final against Spain (or a brace with an assist), with tie-breakers such as assists and minutes played potentially deciding the winner.

Bronze Final Showdown: Why France and England Clash for World Cup Third Place

France and England meet in the 2026 World Cup bronze final in Miami after their semifinals losses.
