Now that you know the World Cup's top scorers, check out the details about each player on this list:
Mbappe
Isolated in the lead, the player has been having an incredible campaign for France, and with this, returning favoritism to the current champion.
With Le Bleus' absences before the World Cup, several doubts arose as to whether the player would be capable of taking on the responsibility, however, the answer was given on the pitch and he has been leading his team very well.
Without a doubt, he is the most important player on his team, as his teammates look for him during the game, and he makes a point of responding accordingly.
So far, there have been five goals in four games, all in decisive moments for France, which was going through several adaptations.
Gonçalo Ramos
The boy appeared in the middle of a controversy, shortly after a disagreement between CR7 and the Portugal coach, he gained a chance to play in the match against Switzerland.
And it didn't happen again, Gonçalo Ramos came in and scored three goals in one game, scoring the second biggest goal of this World Cup.
The 21-year-old replaced none other than Cristiano Ronaldo, and fulfilled his role, if the player continues like this he could end up surpassing even Mbappe in the World Cup top scorers ranking.
Richarlison
The Brazilian national team player, better known as “pigeon”, also entered the fight for top scorer, honoring Brazil's number 9 shirt.
Richarlison put an end to the curse of the center forwards, who hadn't had good performances with hopscotch since 2014, and managed to score 3 goals in 3 games.
At the moment, the player is Brazil's absolute starter, and counting on the team's good form, he still has a few games to try to reach first place.
Saka
Bukayo Saka is another one of England's standouts at the World Cup, making up the team of stars assembled by Gareth Southgate, coach of this team.
The player is playing good games, he was very important in defining the game against Senegal in the round of 16.
The Englishman's next match will be against Mbappe's team, which leads the ranking of World Cup top scorers. Who will do better in this?
Will Saka be able to score and defeat France, or will Mbappe shine and isolate himself even more in the lead?
Giroud
In this World Cup, the French center forward had the great responsibility of replacing the best player in the world in 2022, Benzema, who was out due to injury.
And there is nothing to complain about the player, he has been playing good games, and above all, converting the opportunities he has.
He is playing as a professional number 9, being the tip of the spear for the France team.
Messi
And as always, he is close by in the top scorer rankings. This is his last World Cup, and he wants to take the trophy home.
Being a true leader playing for his national team, his three goals were scored at decisive moments, as Argentina were almost eliminated from the competition after losing in their debut.
The World Cup is one of the great titles that is not yet in Messi's gallery, and through artillery he will try to win it.
Morata
Now a top scorer for a disqualified team, Spain's number 7 had the mission of leading the new generation in this transitional season, however, something didn't go as planned.
Even scoring many goals in previous games, such as the 7-0 against Costa Rica, the Spanish faced Morocco in the round of 16 and ended up falling. Now all that remains is the name of one of the top scorers of this promising team that fell by the wayside.
Rashford
The athlete shares his team's top scorer with Saka, already mentioned above, both are great talents for their teams and the coach's bets are on taking the title home.
Rashford presents a great performance in this World Cup, after a year of many ups and downs at his club, Manchester United, the player seems to have found himself in the national team.
Furthermore, the player is a fundamental player in the English team's counterattacks due to his speed.
Gakpo
The main pillar of the Dutch attack, until now, the number eight of the mechanical orange team, scored three of the five goals that his team managed to score.
In an extremely defensive team, the striker appears to be an escape valve for his team, which finds in a 23-year-old young man all the offensiveness that the squad lacks.
So far, he has been successful in taking responsibility and deciding, will he be able to challenge the Albi Celeste defense in the quarter-finals?
Enner Valencia

Scorer of the first goal of the competition, Enner Valencia became the top scorer in World Cups for his national team, however, his team ended up losing to Senegal, leaving them out of the knockout stage.
Hero of the Ecuadorian team, despite falling in the group stage, the captain had a great run at this World Cup in Qatar, scoring three goals in just four games.
These were the top 10 scorers of the 2022 World Cup.
