IFFHS MEN'S WORLD BEST GOAL SCORER 2025
IFFHS Men’s World Best Goal Scorer 2025 at 30 June: Kylian Mbappé
The podium of the ranking for global goal-scorers remained unchanged from last month, but Kylian Mbappé extended his lead over the rest courtesy of two goals for France in the Nations’ League.
He thus became the first player in the world in 2025 to reach the 30-goal mark (earlier this year, Marcos Leonardo was the first to reach 10 and Ousmane Dembélé 20).
Mbappé could have achieved even more impressive figure, but unfortunately, missed the entire group stage of the Club World Cup due to illness, that caught up with him at a time when he was in excellent form (scoring in each of his last 8 matches).
