**The single-tournament record of 13 goals, set by Just Fontaine in 1958, remains untouched in the modern era, with the next-closest marks at 11 (Kocsis, 1954) and 10 (Müller, 1970).** In 2026, early Golden Boot standings show Messi leading with three goals while several players sit on two, reflecting typical group-stage output rather than record-chasing pace. Even in an expanded 48-team format offering more matches, sustaining double-digit scoring demands a player’s side reach the final while maintaining an unsustainable goals-per-game rate rarely seen beyond the 1950s. Recent World Cups confirm the pattern: top marks have plateaued at eight goals (Ronaldo 2002, Mbappé 2022). Combined with defensive setups, rotation, and injury risk in a congested schedule, these factors underpin the market’s strong consensus against the record falling.
