France star striker Kylian Mbappé is the winner of the 2022 World Cup Golden Boot award after scoring three goals in Sunday’s final against Argentina, bringing his total to eight in the tournament.

Mbappé, 23, is the first Frenchman to win the Golden Boot, though Just Fontaine scored a record 13 goals at the 1958 World Cup before the award was introduced.

Antoine Griezmann finished second in goals scored at the 2018 World Cup.

Mbappe is also just the fifth man to score in multiple World Cup finals and the second to score in back-to-back finals.
