France captain Kylian Mbappe has officially received the Golden Boot award he won at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Real Madrid forward confirmed the development in a post on his Instagram page on Thursday.
Mbappe finished the tournament as the leading scorer with 10 goals in eight matches, securing the award after scoring twice in France’s 6-4 defeat to England in the third-place play-off.
The achievement also saw Mbappe make history as the first men’s player to win the FIFA World Cup Golden Boot in consecutive editions.
The 27-year-old further became the first player to score 10 goals in a single men’s World Cup since West Germany legend Gerd Müller achieved the feat in 1970.
Mbappe will now turn his attention to the Ballon d’Or, with the French forward hoping his World Cup performance will strengthen his bid for the prestigious individual award later this month.
