Kylian Mbappé has surpassed the all-time leading scorer record for the FIFA World Cup. The French captain increased his total World Cup goals following his performance in the semi-finals. During the semi-final match, Mbappé scored two goals, contributing to a bronze medal finish for France in a match that England won 6-4.
This achievement elevated his career tally to 22 World Cup goals. Lionel Messi, who currently holds 21 goals, has an opportunity to challenge this record in the final against Spain. Mbappé’s previous World Cup records include scoring four goals during the 2018 tournament, which was four years prior, and scoring a total of ten goals throughout that championship.
This performance established him as the first player to achieve a double-digit goal count at the World Cup. Despite the team’s overall result in the semi-finals, Mbappé’s scoring efforts remain significant in the history of the global cup. His current standing solidifies his place among the most prolific scorers in the history of the World Cup.
