In the 2026 FIFA World Cup, France faced Senegal. Winning the match 3-1, the French star Kylian Mbappe played a key role in his team's victory by scoring two goals, adding another record to his career.
HE CAUGHT GIROUD, THEN SURPASSED HIM
Mbappe, who found the net twice in the match, tied Olivier Giroud's goal record in the history of the French national team with his first goal. The 27-year-old star surpassed Giroud with his second goal, single-handedly claiming the title of France's all-time top scorer.
NEW PEAK IN FRENCH FOOTBALL
Legends such as Michel Platini, Thierry Henry, and Olivier Giroud once topped the French national team's goal-scoring list. At just 27 years old, Mbappe left all these names behind, etching his name in golden letters in French football history.
RISING IN THE WORLD CUP TOO
The star player draws attention not only with his national team record but also with his World Cup performance. By increasing his goal tally in the tournament with his goals against Senegal, Mbappe continued climbing in the list of the World Cup's top scorers.
STAR OF MAJOR TOURNAMENTS
Having won the championship in the 2018 World Cup and making history with a hat-trick in the 2022 World Cup final, Mbappe once again demonstrated his impact in major events. With the record he broke in the World Cup's opening match, the French star became one of the standout names of the tournament.
