The two Mexican strikers are on full fire just days before the 2026 World Cup, outpacing some of the most famous players on the planet, including Erling Haaland and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Two Mexicans are among the world’s top scorers
Jurin Chiones has had a great season with Al Qadisiyah, scoring 26 goals and ranking second in the world scoring race. Only Harry Kane (31 goals) has more goals as Europe’s current Golden Boot leader.
Meanwhile, Armando Gonzlez is making waves of his own. The Chivas Guadalajara forward has just moved into the top four in the world with 24 goals after scoring twice against Pumas.
Gonzlez has already won the Apertura 2025 Golden Boot and has added another 12 goals in this competition. With four games remaining, he is firmly in the lead in Liga MX’s points race.
What makes Mexico’s dominance even more impressive is who it leaves on the world charts. Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappu have each scored 23 goals, while Erling Haaland has scored 22.
Any surprising developments? Neither Chiones nor Gonzlez are guaranteed a World Cup spot with the Mexican national team. The final decision rests entirely with coach Javier Aguirre.
