Kylian Mbappé finished last season without any titles.
But the French Real Madrid forward still secured three top-scorer honors: the World Cup, the Champions League, and La Liga.
He also reached the status of the all-time top scorer in World Cup history.

Speaking to L’Équipe, he said that no other contender for the Ballon d’Or had a better 2025/2026 season.
“No player had a better season than mine. I believe I have a chance (to win).”
Mbappé scored a total of 58 goals in 60 matches for Real Madrid and France.
He was La Liga’s top scorer thanks to 25 goals. He led the UCL scoring charts with 15 goals. And he scored ten in the World Cup.
He also scored five times in the World Cup qualifiers, once in France’s 2-1 win over Brazil, and added two goals in the Copa del Rey.
Bayern’s goal machine picked up another European Golden Shoe after scoring 36 times in the latest Bundesliga.

His 25/26 season produced 73 goals in 65 matches for Bayern and England.
An average of 1.12 per match.
In addition to being the top scorer in the German league, Kane also scored the most in the DFB-Pokal, the German Cup, with ten goals. He only trailed Mbappé in the UCL after scoring 14 times, and he netted once in the German Super Cup final.
He found the net six times in the World Cup with the English Team, five times in the qualifiers, and scored once in pre-World Cup friendlies.
And, unlike Mbappé in Spain, Kane won all three possible competitions on German soil.
