The FIFA World Cup has seen some of the greatest footballers etch their names into history with extraordinary goal-scoring feats. Since its inception in 1930, the tournament has provided a global stage for players to showcase their talents, and a select few have risen above the rest to become all-time leading goal scorers.
Topping this list are legends who have defined eras and brought glory to their nations. Miroslav Klose, Ronaldo, Gerd Müller, Just Fontaine, and Lionel Messi are five players who have made their mark in the World Cup with exceptional scoring records.
