Real Madrid are the biggest beneficiaries so far at the 2026 World Cup, with their players producing the most goals of any club. The article notes that although the club went through a difficult season, it still leads the ranking with five goals, scored by Kylian Mbappe, who netted twice, Vinicius Junior, also with a brace, and Jude Bellingham.
Bayern Munich are second with four goals, coming from Harry Kane’s two-goal haul, plus strikes by Luis Diaz and Jamal Musiala. Manchester United and Arsenal are next on three goals each, with United getting a brace from Matheus Cunha and one from Amad Diallo, while Arsenal’s total came from Kai Havertz, who also scored twice, and Viktor Gyokeres.
Juventus are also credited with three goals through Jonathan David, and Inter Miami have three goals from Lionel Messi. Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund are listed behind them, each with two goals from players in the tournament so far.
At the other end, Barcelona stand out for not appearing among the leading clubs because none of their players has scored yet. The piece says Lamine Yamal began the tournament injured and came on only as a substitute in the first match, while Raphinha was injured during the second match. For a club described as one of the strongest in the world, the expectation is for a bigger international contribution.
