In just a few years, the FIFA 2022 World Cup will come to a close. There is
only one game left until a champion is crowned at the international
tournament in Qatar. On Sunday at Lusail Stadium, Argentina and France will
compete for the chance to win their third title. Les Bleus are making their
fourth final appearance in seven tournaments, whereas La Albiceleste is
making their debut in the championship match after losing to Germany in
2014. France, led by Didier Deschamps, is the current champion, whereas
Argentina’s previous championship came in 1986.
It is expected to be Lionel Messi’s final World Cup match for Argentina.
Therefore all eyes will be on him. Messi has been the tournament’s MVP so
far, scoring the most goals (five) for Argentina. Notably, the French
forward Kylian Mbappe shares a first place on the all-time goalscoring list
with him. France’s Olivier Giroud, who has been in phenomenal form this
edition, and Argentina’s Julain Alvarez, who has been equally adequate, are
knotted with four goals apiece, making for a fascinating race for the
Golden Boot.
Before we find out who will win the Golden Boot at the 2022 FIFA World Cup
in Qatar, let’s have a look at the previous winners of the accolade from
the 1930s through the 2018 tournament.
