FIFA World Cup 2026 | Expert Goals, Assists and Tournament Records

Mbappé went top of the all-time list with 22 goals. The figure of 10 is his tally for the 2026 tournament alone and must be kept apart from the career record.

The tournament tallies were Mbappé 10, Messi 8, Bellingham 7, Haaland 7 and Dembélé 6. The figures 22 and 21 belong to the all-time scoring record.

The tournament tallies were Mbappé 10 and Messi 8, so two goals moved Mbappé's way. That fits exactly with Messi's lead of one turning into a lead of one for Mbappé.

Mbappé was top scorer in 2022 with eight goals and took the award again in 2026 with ten. That makes it two tournaments in a row.

Ten goals less the two in the third-place play-off leaves eight. At the end of the semi-finals he was level with Messi on eight.

Michael Olise set the single-tournament record with seven assists. The seven is a number of assists, not of goals.

Seven less five leaves two assists for other players, and five of the seven went to Mbappé, which is 5/7.

The new record is 790. The 638 was Rodri's own previous record from 2022, and 599 was Xavi's mark from 2010.

790 − 638 = 152. The question asks about the margin over Rodri's own previous record, not over Xavi's 599.

He misplaced 105 − 101 = 4, and 101 ÷ 105 × 100 gives about 96.2%. The 80% was his duel success rate in the same final, not his passing.

England's Bellingham and Kane were the first to do it, and France's Dembélé and Mbappé followed. The condition is six or more each, not six between them.

The old record was 25 matches, and Deschamps went one better with 26. The 26 is a number of matches managed at the finals, not a number of tournaments.

Dick Advocaat, in charge of Curaçao, became the oldest manager at 78 years and 271 days. This is not a record for the oldest player.

The record combines coming off the bench with scoring twice in a match, and it is the youngest to do that. It is not the broader record for the tournament's youngest scorer.

Ronaldo scored at six tournaments in a row from 2006 to 2026. The record is about scoring at each of them, not merely appearing at six.

1 + 1 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 2 = 10. Scoring at six tournaments does not mean one goal at each.

Room matched Howard's 16 saves for a share of the record, but did it in 30 minutes less playing time. It cannot be described as the outright record.

Simón kept a clean sheet in seven of his eight matches. The previous single-tournament best was five, so he beat it by two.

Spain conceded only one goal at the tournament. The previous best by a winning team was two, set by France in 1998, Italy in 2006 and Spain in 2010.

The records are 23 career wins, scoring in nine consecutive appearances and seven career goals from outside the penalty area. The units — wins, goals and consecutive matches — have to line up.
