2026 World Cup club statistics: Real Madrid players set a scoring record
The Spanish national team won the 2026 World Cup final by defeating Argentina 1-0. The winning goal in extra time was scored by Ferran Torres — just as Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta scored in the 2010 World Cup final to secure the trophy for his national team.
Following the conclusion of the tournament, interesting statistics regarding the participating clubs and their representatives have emerged. Zamin.uz presents details on which club's players scored the most goals at the 2026 World Cup and which club had the most representatives in the final.
22 goals from Real Madrid players!
The start of this tournament was somewhat difficult for Real Madrid. Having lost the La Liga title to Barcelona for the second consecutive year, the "Royal Club" failed to include any of its players in the Spanish national team squad for the first time in history (Marc Cucurella's transfer was finalized during the tournament).
However, Real Madrid players representing other national teams became the top-scoring club representatives at the 2026 World Cup. In total, they managed to score 22 goals against their opponents:
Kylian Mbappé (France): 10 goals and his second career Golden Boot;
Jude Bellingham (England): 7 goals;
Vinícius Júnior (Brazil): 4 goals;
Arda Güler (Turkey): 1 goal.

Real Madrid's performance in the scoring charts is even more impressive, as only one of the club's players — Marc Cucurella — reached the final.

1 | Real Madrid | 22 |
2 | Paris Saint-Germain | 15 |
3 | Arsenal | 13 |
4 | Bayern Munich | 12 |
5 | Inter Miami and Manchester United | 8 each |
Hegemony in the final: Atlético leads, not Barcelona!
In Sunday's final in New Jersey, Barcelona was represented by 8 players (all in the Spanish national team). However, the Catalans lost out to another Madrid team as the club with the most representatives.
Atlético Madrid had 9 players in the 2026 World Cup final — more than any other club.
Notably, this went down in history as the third consecutive World Cup final where the "Rojiblancos" had the most representatives.
