World Cup 2026 – The top assister is known! | OneFootball

Spain and Argentina faced off in the 2026 World Cup final on Sunday night. Following Spain’s triumph, the assists ranking is now set in stone. No one was able to catch Michael Olise’s 7 assists (the 24-year-old winger/attacking midfielder for Bayern Munich), delivered with the French national team during the tournament.

It is a remarkable performance, especially with a 3-assist lead over second place, Lionel Messi (39, Argentina). Unfortunately, this World Cup also leaves the impression that Olise failed to score and that his last 2 matches, against Spain and England, were very disappointing. Still, it should not be forgotten that 7 assists in a single World Cup is an impressive total. Olise is a player people love to watch on the pitch, even if he still obviously has work to do to become more consistent at the highest level.
