With the last-16 set at the 2026 World Cup<\/a>, we’ve picked out our stat-led team of the round for the last 32, with superstar Kylian Mbappe joined by a Paraguayan, a Canadian and a Belgian to name a few.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve limited our team to one player per team, meaning there are some hugely unfortunate absentees – including France<\/a>‘s assist king Michael Olise, as well as Spain<\/a>‘s Marc Cucurella after his two assists against Austria<\/a>, plus England<\/a>‘s two-goal saviour Harry Kane.<\/p>\n\n\n
