In the World Cup 2026 semi-finals, Messi provided two assists as Argentina came from behind to defeat England 2-1. Messi surpassed Mbappe at the top of the scoring chart with 8 goals and 4 assists.
According to the rules, if players have the same number of goals in the World Cup scoring chart, assists are compared first. Messi surpassed Mbappe, who had 8 goals and 3 assists, with 8 goals and 4 assists.
Bellingham and Kane each have 6 goals and 1 assist. Unless they score a hat-trick in the third-place play-off, it will be difficult for them to overtake the others in the scoring chart.
As for Spain's center forward Oyarzabal, even if he scores a hat-trick in the World Cup final, he cannot win the World Cup Golden Boot unless he scores a super hat-trick or records 3 goals and 3 assists in the final.

Everybody now can agree that there will never be another player like Messi!! Even though some of us saw this a long time ago, despite being a Man Utd fan since 2002 when i was only 7 years old. Messi made me fall in love with him when we played Barcelona in Rome, in 2009. Since then i chose to support Barcelona as my second favorite club in football, and it was all because of Messi. I didn't even had to think twice when it came to choosing Messi over Cristiano Ronaldo because the evidence of Messi the greatest of all time was so clear and overwhelming🐐

GOAT 🐐 Naturally Humble yet hardworking Let not his walking deceive you He's busy mastering the game to execute something special. Like a chase master. When he starts running, defenders tremble, like they're gonna pee in their pants.
