The award goes to the player who has scored the most goals at the tournament, and this year it may in fact come down to two finalists – Argentina’s Lionel Messi and France’s Kylian Mbappe. The next differentiator, should two players end the tournament with the same number of goals and assists, is minutes played; whoever has played fewer minutes would win the award in that case. It is also worth noting that Mbappe’s France teammate Olivier Giroud has scored four goals at this World Cup, as has Messi’s fellow Argentina forward Julian Alvarez. Here is the state of play as we wait for the World Cup golden boot to be decided: 5 goals Lionel Messi – 3 assists, 570 minutes played Kylian Mbappe – 2 assists, 477 minutes 4 goals France striker Olivier Giroud has become his nation’s all-time leading scorer during this World Cup Olivier Giroud – 0 assists, 364 minutes Julian Alvarez – 0 assists, 383 minutes 3 goals Goncalo Ramos Alvaro Morata Marcus Rashford Enner Valencia Bukayo Saka Richarlison Cody Gakpo List of previous Golden Boot winners
