France's Kylian Mbappe is back on the World Cup trail, with the 2018 World champion looking to defend their trophy and win the Golden Boot (and perhaps the Golden Ball while at it).
Ecuador's surprise package Enner Balencia is in close second but the striker's injury in the second round of group matches could severely hamper his challenge for the World Cup top scorer gong.
Lionel Messi has two (2) goals and one (1) assist so far while big names Cristiano Ronaldo and Robert Lewandowski both have one (1) goal apiece.
