As the excitement of the semi-finals reaches its peak at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Spanish giant Real Madrid has set a unique record that will go down in football history. The Real Madrid stars appearing in the tournament have managed to break the record for the "most goals scored by players from a single club" in World Cup history by finding the back of the net a total of 19 times. Our national star Arda Güler is also on this historic list.
Following the PSG dominance in Qatar 2022 and the Bayern Munich hegemony in 2014, the super stars of the Los Blancos have left their mark on 2026. Moreover, this record has the potential to be pushed even higher with the upcoming semi-final and final matches.
LEGENDS LEFT BEHIND: NEW RECORD IS 19 GOALS!
The previous record in World Cup history belonged to three different eras and clubs with 18 goals per tournament: Honvéd, which formed the backbone of the legendary Hungary team in 1954; Bayern Munich, the core of the Germany team that marched to the title in 2014; and PSG, with Messi and Mbappe in 2022.
Real Madrid stars reached a total of 19 goals in the 2026 tournament, leaving these giant clubs behind and becoming the sole owner of the top spot.
GOALS CAME FROM 4 SUPER STARS: HERE IS THE TOP SCORER LIST
The 19-goal performance that carried Real Madrid to the pinnacle of history came from the feet of 4 special players who made a name for themselves in the tournament. While Kylian Mbappe leads the way in the tournament's top scorer race, our young star Arda Güler also contributed to this historic performance:
•Kylian Mbappe: 8 goals
•Jude Bellingham: 6 goals
•Vinícius Júnior: 4 goals
•Arda Güler: 1 goal
THE RECORD COULD GROW EVEN FURTHER!
Although Vinicius Junior, who scored 4 goals for Brazil, and Arda Güler, who recorded 1 goal for our National Team, have bid farewell to the tournament, Real Madrid's wild record is not expected to stop here.
Captain Kylian Mbappe, who is carrying France, and Jude Bellingham, the brains of England, have managed to lead their teams to the semi-finals. Every goal the two super stars score in the upcoming semi-final and final/third-place matches will push this historic record broken by Real Madrid to an unreachable point.
