Paolo Rossi — 6 goals, Italy 1982
6 goals all in the last 3 games. Zero in the groups, hat-trick vs Brazil. Astonishing surge.
Paolo Rossi delivered the most dramatic goalscoring surge in World Cup history: zero goals in the group stage, then all 6 in the final three matches. He scored a hat-trick against Brazil, two against Poland, and the opener in the final — all after returning from a two-year match-fixing ban. No other Golden Boot winner has achieved such a concentrated burst of goals in elimination rounds.
