La Golden Boot is the award given by FIFA to the top scorer of a World Cup. In Qatar 2022, the group stage has ended and several players are looking to obtain the distinction.
In the history of the competition, Miroslav Klose stands out, who holds the record for the most goals scored in the World Cup party. The striker has scored 16 goals in four campaigns (2002, 2006, 2010, 2014).
