Despite France falling in the semifinals, Kylian Mbappé claimed his second consecutive Golden Boot with an extraordinary tally of 10 goals and 4 assists.

He finished ahead of Lionel Messi (8 goals, 4 assists) and Jude Bellingham (7 goals).

Spain goalkeeper Unai Simón took home the Golden Glove award for the tournament’s standout shot-stopper.

His 90.9% save percentage and calm distribution under pressure proved crucial to Spain’s title run.
