How is the Golden Boot decided?

The Golden Boot is awarded to the player who scores the most goals at a World Cup. If two players finish on the same number of goals the award goes to the player with fewer goals scored from penalties, then the one with more assists. If there is still more than one player, the tie-breaker since 2006 goes to the player who has played the least amount of minutes at the tournament.

Will Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo win the Golden Boot?

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were both playing in likely their final World Cup - Messi confirmed as much before the final - and neither have won the Golden Boot before, and likely won't now given their ages. Ronaldo scored in Portugal’s opening game in Qatar to become the first player to score in five consecutive World Cups. However, he did not score since and was dropped for the last-16 win over Switzerland.

Portugal were beaten by Morocco in the quarter-finals, where Ronaldo's chances ended.

Messi netted seven goals at the World Cup, including his brace in the final. Ronaldo has eight total goals at World Cups and Messi now has 13.
