Kylian Mbappe is one of the greatest footballers of all time. The 27-year-old is leading France in the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2026 and is arguably their best player. In five matches for Les Bleus, he has scored seven goals, including three braces against Senegal, Iraq, and Sweden. Mbappe is France’s highest goalscorer in men’s international football as well as in FIFA World Cup history, and only Lionel Messi is ahead of him in the tournament’s all-time goalscorers’ list. Here’s a look at Mbappe’s record in the FIFA World Cup.
