🔥Messi, Mbappé, Haaland, a race all about goals | OneFootball

The three stars of Argentina, France and Norway each scored braces and continue their own battle for the tournament’s Golden Boot.

If one starts by scoring a brace, the next immediately does the same and, to round off the party, the third man joins the scoring list. Messi, Mbappé and Haaland have their own little 'duel' at this World Cup.

Before yesterday’s round began, Messi was leading with three goals, ahead of Mbappé and Haaland with two each. The first to speak was the Argentine, with a brace against Austria and a message for his two heirs.

Mbappé got the call and answered, adding two more goals to his tally at this World Cup to keep on Messi’s trail, and Kylian himself sent a message to the third piece of this equation.

Haaland, against Senegal, also did not want to be left behind in this race for goals at his first World Cup. A brace against the Africans took him to four goals so far.

After another round, Messi leads the standings with five goals, followed by Mbappé and Haaland with four. In the final round, the French and Norwegians will face each other.
