- Real Madrid top the World Cup 2026 club goal charts with 12 goals, powered by Kylian Mbappe's five for France and Vinicius Junior's four for Brazil, with Jude Bellingham adding two for England.
- Paris Saint-Germain sit second with 11 goals, with Ousmane Dembele scoring four and Bradley Barcola adding two for France.
- Bayern Munich have 10 goals, with Harry Kane responsible for half of that total.
- Sunderland and Crystal Palace are the surprise packages with eight goals each at the tournament, ahead of Arsenal and Manchester United (both seven), Liverpool (six), and Newcastle and Manchester City (five apiece).
- Liverpool lead the assists chart with 12, with Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz each recording three and Mohamed Salah — set to leave Anfield this summer — providing two.
- Only Salah of Liverpool's assist-makers remains at the World Cup with Egypt, after Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands were eliminated at the round of 32 stage.
Why it matters: The club goal rankings expose how thinly elite Premier League sides like Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle and Manchester City are represented in the World Cup's later stages, with Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands already eliminated at the round of 32 — meaning Salah is Liverpool's last creative thread in the tournament. Meanwhile, promoted-or-recently-promoted sides Sunderland and Crystal Palace punch far above their domestic weight, thanks largely to single players (Granit Xhaka and Daniel Munoz).
