Spain won the 2026 FIFA World Cup final Sunday with a 1-0 victory over Argentina courtesy of Barcelona forward Ferran Torres' goal deep into extra time. The match in New Jersey pitted Lionel Messi against Lamine Yamal, but Real Madrid "won" the tournament's scoring charts.

Players on Los Blancos' books representing other nations netted 22 goals, led by Kylian Mbappé (10 for France), Jude Bellingham (seven for England), Vinícius Júnior (four for Brazil) and Arda Güler (one for Türkiye). Paris Saint-Germain ranked second with 15 goals, followed by Arsenal (13) and Bayern Munich (12). Lionel Messi's eight goals placed Inter Miami joint-fifth.

Despite topping the scoring table, Real Madrid had only Marc Cucurella reach the final. Atlético Madrid supplied the most players to the final with nine representatives — the third consecutive World Cup final where the Rojiblancos led club representation.
