Gerd Müller — 10 goals, West Germany 1970

10 goals in 6 games. Second only to Fontaine. Scored in every match including the semifinal classic.

Gerd Müller scored 10 goals in 6 games at the 1970 World Cup in Mexico — the second highest total in history after Fontaine. He scored in every match, including the semifinal winner against Italy in a legendary 4-3 extra-time contest. His predatory instinct in the six-yard box made him virtually impossible to stop in close range.
