Kylian Mbappé is currently France’s most prominent player and stepped up as captain after the 2022 World Cup, where he scored eight goals, including a hat trick in the final and played a vital part in claiming the 2018 World Cup victory. At Paris Saint-Germain, Mbappé has secured multiple Ligue 1 titles and earned several times the Ligue 1 Player of the Year award, recently signing with Real Madrid for the 2024-25 season. He aims to surpass Miroslav Klose’s record of 16 World Cup goals.

Harry Kane stands as England’s all-time top scorer with 78 international goals and has made appearances in multiple significant tournaments, including the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, and European Championships. Kane is noted for winning several Bundesliga scoring awards while at Bayern Munich and three Premier League Golden Boots with Tottenham Hotspur.

Lionel Messi is notable for numerous records, including being the oldest player to score five goals in a single World Cup and the only player to net in the World Cup across his teens, 20s, and 30s.

Erling Haaland, known for his remarkable scoring ability at Manchester City and for Norway, has made a significant impact in the Premier League and UEFA Champions League.

Lamine Yamal, a notable young talent from FC Barcelona, became the youngest player to represent Spain, contributing significantly to their EURO 2024 title.

Lastly, Cristiano Ronaldo maintains his status as Portugal’s record holder for goals and appearances and continues to be a critical part of Portugal’s squad as they head toward the 2026 cycle.
