Race for the Golden Boot of FIFA World Cup 2022: The leading goal scorers for Qatar 2022 are Lionel Messi with 6 goals and Kylian Mbappe with five World Cup goals. Julian Alvarez and Olivier Giroud share the third place on the list. The FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar has started, and the race for the Golden Boot, an award given to the tournament's top goal scorer, has begun. The greatest footballers in the world, including some footballing icons, will compete in Qatar 2022 for the treasured title. Some of the football legends of FIFA World Cup 2022 are in a race for the world's greatest award that any footballer dreams to achieve. Enner Valencia of Ecuador started the Qatar 2022 race for the Golden Boot by scoring twice against the hosts Qatar in the opening match.

Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal, who opened his account in 2006, made history at the FIFA World Cup 2022 by becoming the first player to score in five straight World Cups. Using a penalty kick against Ghana in the opening match, the striker scored his first goal in Qatar. Right now, Ronaldo has eight goals.

The Best Three Footballers in a Race for the Golden Boot

1. Kylian Mbappe (France) 8 goals

At FIFA World Cup 2022, Mbappe is turning into France's icon. He started off by scoring in a 4-1 triumph over Australia before scoring a game-winning brace against Denmark. The PSG forward then added a second brace as France routed Poland 3-1 in the round of 16. Surprising, France's superstar has his eyes focused on winning the prominent World Cup Golden Boot.

2. Lionel Messi (Argentina) 7 goals

Lionel Messi scored his first goal in the FIFA World Cup 2022 with a penalty kick of the World Cup against Saudi Arabia, but it was not enough to save them from an unexpected loss in their opening match. Messi scored a stunning goal from outside the box to put Argentina ahead of a tenacious Mexico team in a game that was literally down to the last minute. On the occasion of his 1000th game, Messi gave Argentina a critical advantage over Australia with one of his trademark shots into the bottom corner. Messi pushed his team ahead 2-0 in the quarterfinals by converting a chilly penalty against the Netherlands for his 10th World Cup goal. Later, when Argentina was playing Croatia in the semifinals, he would score an important opening goal from the penalty spot. He is also in the race for Golden Boot

3. Olivier Giroud (France) 4 goals

France won their first game against Australia thanks to Giroud's two goals. The AC Milan forward then gave France the lead against Poland in their Round of 16 triumph with a beautiful finish into the bottom corner to set a new record for goals scored by a French player. The 36-year-old then gave Les Bleus the lead again in the 78th minute with a powerful header past Jordan Pickford off Antoine Griezmann's exquisite left-wing cross as they narrowly defeated England 2-1 in the quarterfinals.
