Noise without grinding… Mbappe’s exceptional season ends with an empty cupboard!

Real Madrid and France star Kylian Mbappe has achieved an unprecedented historic achievement in 60 years, but it is bittersweet as he was named the top scorer of the 2026 World Cup, Champions League and Spanish League in the same season without winning any of these three competitions, becoming only the second fraud player in Portuguese history to win any of these 3 competitions. In 1966

Mbappe has scored 42 goals in 44 matches for Real Madrid this season, leading the list of the best scorers in the Spanish league with 25 goals. He was also the best scorer of the Champions League with 15 goals. However, the former Paris Saint-Germain player failed to win either of these two competitions as he settled for second place in the league and was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

At national team level, the Roosters captain finished the 2026 World Cup as the tournament’s top scorer with 10 goals, two ahead of Lionel Messi, who was kept silent in Argentina’s 1-0 loss to Spain in the final. However, France crashed out of the semi-final against England and Mbappe returned empty-handed despite his remarkable individual brilliance.

Mbappe equals Muller’s historic figure

With ten goals in one game, Mbappe equaled the record of German legend Gerd Muller, who scored as many goals in the 1970 World Cup, becoming only the second player in history to achieve the feat, while the record is still held by France’s Just Fontaine, who scored 13 goals in 1958.

With the feat, Mbappe remains at the top of the World Cup’s all-time scoring list with 22 goals, just ahead of Lionel Messi, who has 21 goals, in a historic battle between two legends from different generations.

For the second time in a row, he is the best scorer of the World Cup

This is Mbappe’s second consecutive World Cup top scorer title as he was already the top scorer at Qatar 2022 with 8 goals despite France losing to Argentina on penalties in the final, and in his first appearance at the 2018 World Cup he scored 4 goals in which France won the Golden Goal, but he did not win that the title to Cannes.

Eusebio’s achievement is repeated 60 years later

Mbappe is the second player in history to win the World Cup, Champions League and domestic league top scorer in the same year without winning either competition, after Portuguese legend Eusebio, Benfica’s top scorer at the 1966 World Cup, which England won with 9 goals, the Champions League where Real Madrid won the title with Sporting 2 goals.
