The performance of Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 this Tuesday also marked an unprecedented milestone in French football history. The team captain officially became the all-time top scorer for the national squad<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWith his two goals against Senegal, the forward reached 58 international goals <\/strong>for his country. This achievement surpasses the previous record of 57 goals held by Olivier Giroud, who won the world championship in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe striker achieved this historic milestone in 97 appearances with the national shirt<\/strong>. This means he required 40 fewer international matches than Olivier Giroud to establish the new scoring record.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFurthermore, this performance against the African team raises his overall tally to 14 goals in the World Cup after playing 15 matches. With this number, the French striker surpasses several historical football legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 moved past the 12 goals of Brazilian legend Pel\u00e9, as well as the 13 goals scored by Lionel Messi and Just Fontaine. He now shares the third position in the historical standings with German striker Gerd M\u00fcller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At 27 years of age, the French forward still has several opportunities to expand his international numbers in future tournaments. With a goal average of 0.93 per game <\/strong>in the tournament, the forward remains close to the absolute records. He only trails the 15 goals scored by Ronaldo and the historical record of 16 goals held by German forward Miroslav Klose.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAuthor: Laura V. Mor<\/p>\n\n\n\n
