Kylian Mbappé is positioned to potentially establish a new world record for the most goals scored in the knockout stages of the World Cup. Currently, he has accumulated eight goals, placing him in a tie with Brazilian legends Leônidas da Silva and Ronaldo Nazário. The French and Real Madrid forward has set his sights on surpassing this historical benchmark, a feat he currently shares with two other prominent figures in global football.
His next match, the Round of 16 fixture against Sweden, represents his first opportunity to attempt to break this established record and enter the history books. Mbappé’s exceptional form has seen him score eight goals across just two World Cups: Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022. During the 2018 tournament, where he achieved the title of world champion, Mbappé scored two goals against Argentina in the Round of 16.
He added another goal during the final match against Croatia. Following this, four years later, his performances continued to build his impressive tally. His consistent goal-scoring across major tournaments keeps him under intense scrutiny as he aims to solidify his place in the pantheon of football history.
