Four players finished with four goals at the tournament, but breakout Real Madrid striker Gonzalo García has beaten out Al Hilal’s Marcos Leonardo, Benfica’s Ángel Di María and Borussia Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy to the Golden Boot due to his superior assist haul.

11 players finished with three goals, included the star of the final, Cole Palmer. The Chelsea playmaker scored twice as European champions Paris Saint-Germain were cast aside 3–0 in the competition’s showpiece event.

Midfielder Fabián Ruiz was PSG’s top scorer at the tournament, while a trio of Bayern Munich players—Harry Kane, Michael Olise and Jamal Musiala—also scored three times. Erling Haaland’s premature exit meant he also only finished with three goals.

Al Ahly’s Wessam Abou Ali was one of two players to net a hat-trick at this summer’s tournament, as he tormented Porto in a 4–4 draw to conclude Group A.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s all-time record of seven goals is still intact, but the revamped format means his lead has a chance of dissipating in 2029.

Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, Federico Valverde and Salem Al-Dawsari were all involved this summer and have each scored five Club World Cup goals. Valverde struck for the fourth and fifth times during Real Madrid’s group stage wins over Pachuca and RB Salzburg, while Al-Dawsari also added to his tally before he succumbed to a hamstring injury. Messi and Suárez may have featured in the tournament for the final time in 2025, with the former just a goal adrift of the all-time record.

Benzema and Ronaldo did not qualify for the tournament, while Bale and Delgado are both retired.
