Mbappé Pledges to Outscore Ronaldo and Messi at 2026 World Cup
France and Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappé has made a bold prediction for the 2026 World Cup. Speaking in a promotional challenge, he tipped Cristiano Ronaldo to outscore Lionel Messi but ultimately backed himself to claim the Golden Boot. The 2026 tournament holds special meaning for Mbappé after his hat-trick and Golden Boot victory in 2022. He admitted he avoids rewatching that final, saying it could “awaken some demons.” When asked about rising talent, Mbappé surprisingly picked Barcelona teen Lamine Yamal to shine in North America. He also named Real Madrid teammate Vinícius Jr. among the top scoring hopefuls.
