Golden Boot Race: Who’s Leading & Why
Benfica’s veteran playmaker Ángel Di María currently leads the Golden Boot standings with four goals, all scored from the penalty spot. Though Benfica is out of the tournament, his tally stands strong—for now.
Several players sit just behind him with three goals, including Bayern trio Kane, Musiala, and Olise, who’ve all benefited from Bayern’s dominant group stage run, including a 10–0 win over Auckland City.
With Bayern, Chelsea, and Real Madrid still in it, there’s a good chance we’ll see more goals from Pedro Neto, Gonzalo García, and Michael Olise. Knockout games usually get tighter, but with extra time on the table, there’s still plenty of room for someone to pad their total.

All-Time FIFA Club World Cup Top Scorers
Before the 2025 revamp, these players led the scoring charts:
Player | Club(s) | Goals |
Cristiano Ronaldo | Man United, Real Madrid | 7 |
Lionel Messi | Barcelona, Inter Miami | 6 |
Karim Benzema | Real Madrid, Al-Ittihad | 6 |
Gareth Bale | Real Madrid | 6 |
César Delgado | Monterrey | 5 |
Luis Suárez | Barcelona | 5 |
Federico Valverde | Real Madrid | 5 |
Salem Al-Dawsari | Al Hilal | 5 |
Valverde remains active and scored his fifth Club World Cup goal against Pachuca this summer. Al-Dawsari, sidelined with injury, won’t increase his total. Messi and Suárez have exited this year’s competition without adding to their tallies.
Can Anyone Break Ronaldo’s Record?
With Di María on 4 and several players on 3, it’s possible—but unlikely—that Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of 7 goals could fall this year. With just a few games left, one goal or hat-trick could flip the whole story.
Scoring Trends at the Club World Cup
The expanded tournament means more matches and more chances to score. In previous years, the Golden Boot winner often finished with 3–5 goals. With bigger clubs entering earlier and playing more games, we’re already seeing higher tallies.
European and South American clubs continue to dominate, but players from Africa, Asia, and North America are also making a mark—just look at Abou Ali’s hat-trick for Al Ahly or Germán Bertarame’s consistent form for Monterrey.
What’s Next in the Golden Boot Race?
As we head into the quarterfinals, keep an eye on:
- Bayern Munich: Kane, Olise, Musiala
- Chelsea: Pedro Neto
- Real Madrid: Gonzalo García
Any of these players could take the lead with a big game.
