Monday, December 19, 2022 –FIFA World Cup 2022 Golden Boot winner Kylian Mbappe core a total of eight goals in the entire tournament that ended yesterday December 18 afternoon.
The highly explosive French forward bagged the special Boot after bagging a hat-trick in the final match against Argentinians.
On the other hand, Leonel Messi had a total of seven goals almost tying with Mbappe in what could have been a tiebreaker.
During the final day Sunday December 18, Mbappe 23 netted a total of three goals back-to-back against Argentina.
