The madridista scored another two goals against Iraq and two more against Sweden in the round of 16. He then scored the winning goal against Paraguay in the round of 16 and found the net again against Morocco in the quarterfinals.

Lionel Messi was the second-highest scorer with 8 goals, and Jude Bellingham finished third with 7.

The Portuguese coach was reportedly furious after the game against Villarreal and decided to not talk with the media Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho didn't speak to the media after the game against Villarreal on Saturday as he wanted to "avoid a possible suspension," according to multiple reports. Mourinho, known for his character on and off the pitch, was furious in the second half after VAR decided to call the referee to the monitor and call off the goal scored by Brazilian striker Vinicius Jr., who was also sent off by the referee as VAR review showed he had pulled Nathan Saliba's hair before scoring. Mourinho, who rejoined Real Madrid as coach in the summer, didn't take part in the media activities and didn't attend the usual post-match press conference at the Bernabeu, following Real Madrid's 1-0 win against Villarreal thanks to the goal of Yan Diomande. After the game, Vinicius Jr. apologized to fans and his teammates as he posted on Instagram. "Sorry to the team and the fans," he said.

Gunmen opened fire during a funeral at a church in Jordan on Friday, killing seven people and wounding 40 others, authorities said. The shooting took place at a Greek Orthodox church in Karak, about 180km (110 miles) south of the capital, Amman. Footage broadcast on Jordanian state television showed two gunmen who appear to be holding pistols approaching the church and firing shots. A third man who appears to be holding a semiautomatic rifle then approaches and opens fire, and all three then run toward the church. Video footage taken by witnesses shows broken glass and pools of blood on the floor of the church. Dorgham Halasa, who was among the mourners inside the church, said intense gunfire erupted 15 minutes after the funeral had started, and then people started running. “It was a weird situation, and heavy gunfire,” Halasa said. He did not see the gunmen, but said other people reported seeing four of them. The Associated Press could not independently verify the number of assailants, and Jordan’s security services did not immediately release details.
