Real Madrid Players Set New World Cup Record with 19 Goals in 2026 Tournament
Real Madrid players have made history at the 2026 FIFA World Cup by setting a new record for the most goals scored by players from a single club in one edition of the tournament. The team’s players have collectively scored 19 goals, surpassing the previous record of 18 goals held by three clubs: Hungary's Honvéd in 1954, Bayern Munich in 2014, and Paris Saint-Germain in 2022.
Jude Bellingham contributed significantly to this achievement by scoring twice in England’s 2-1 victory over Norway in the quarterfinals, bringing his personal tally to six goals in the tournament. Kylian Mbappé leads the Real Madrid contingent with eight goals, while Vinícius Júnior has added four goals. Arda Güler also scored once, rounding out the group responsible for the record-breaking total.
This milestone is particularly notable given Real Madrid’s challenging club season, highlighting the exceptional talent within their squad. Despite difficulties during the season, the players have continued to excel on the world stage, demonstrating their individual quality and contributing to the club’s historic World Cup performance.
