Lionel Messi has a lot to achieve in the FIFA World Cup 2026 final against Spain on Sunday at New York-New Jersey Stadium. Kylian Mbappe is currently a big favourite to win the Golden Boot. Due to a brace in the third-place playoff match against England, the French skipper surpassed the Argentine superstar on Saturday. Messi, 39, is currently behind in the race and will have a difficult time defeating Mbappe in the summit match. After scoring two goals in France’s thrilling 4-6 loss to England in the third-place playoff on Saturday, Mbappe solidified his claim to the top-scorer award.
