One step away from history

The World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada is not only stirring strong emotions on the field, but also producing statistics that mark an era. In this case, the unexpected star is Real Madrid, which could close the tournament with an all-time scoring record in the history of the World Cups

Mbappé, the star player

With Kylian Mbappé's goal against Morocco, the players of the white club have already scored 17 goals in this edition. That number puts them one step away from equaling the 18-goal mark held by three legendary institutions: Honvéd Budapest in 1954, Bayern Munich in 2014, and Paris Saint-Germain in 2022. The Frenchman is the great architect of this campaign, with 8 goals that establish him as the tournament's top scorer and as the great hope for the record to be broken

Bellingham and company

At his side, Jude Bellingham keeps the hopes alive with his 4 goals, while Vinícius Júnior, also with 4, will no longer be able to add to the score as he has been eliminated. The young Turkish player Arda Güler completes the list of Real Madrid scorers in this Cup.

The outcome will depend on what Mbappé and Bellingham do in the upcoming matches. The truth is that the white club, beyond the European titles, is about to leave its mark on a global stage that transcends borders and jerseys. An unexpected record that could immortalize Madrid in the World Cup history books
