💡 Better than Messi and Olise, this player is the World Cup's most creative | OneFootball

The 2026 World Cup is without question the tournament of the superstars! Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Michael Olise – the list of top players delivering, at times in brutal fashion, in the USA is long.

Leandro Trossard doesn’t quite belong in that bracket. Even so, the Arsenal Premier League champion also enjoyed an outstanding World Cup.

The following stat proves it not least of all: over the past few weeks, the Belgian left winger has already created a whopping 17 chances!

That is the best mark among all players and has not been matched even by brilliantly in-form magicians like Messi or Olise.

Trossard’s latest masterstroke was the assist for Charles De Ketelaere, who gave Belgium a 2–1 lead against the USA. That meant the 31-year-old played a major part in the Red Devils’ comfortable run to the quarter-finals.
