The race for the Golden Boot: Mbappe leading the charge | Sport

With the FIFA World Cup currently in the round of 16, the race for the Golden Boot is heating up with each passing game.

There are notable absentees from the current top scorers so far, such as the previous Golden Boot winner Harry Kane and Portuguese sensation Cristiano Ronaldo, both on one goal each. After helping his country lift the 2018 World Cup, it's fair to say that Mbappe has picked up where he left off. He currently leads the way with five goals so far in the tournament, two more than second place. Arguably the greatest footballer of our generation, Lionel Messi is once again the man who Argentina look for in their hour of need. Messi has three goals so far and with Argentina scheduled to face Netherlands in the quarter-finals, he will be looking to add to his current tally.
