Kylian Mbappe continues to establish a significant record during the current World Cup. During France’s 3-0 victory against Iraq, the French striker netted two goals, elevating his standing on the all-time top goalscorers list for the tournament. His first goal against Iraq marked a milestone, bringing Mbappe to 15 goals, which matches the tally of Brazilian legend Ronaldo Nazario.
With his second goal, he reached 16 goals, thereby equaling the previous record set by former German striker Miroslav Klose. Consequently, the 26-year-old Frenchman now shares second place on the historical ranking, with Lionel Messi remaining ahead of him. Previously, the Argentine captain held the sole record for the all-time top scorer, having accumulated 18 goals across previous World Cup appearances.
Given that Mbappe is currently performing at an elite level and France has advanced through the tournament, the French striker has a continued opportunity to improve his standing in the World Cup records. His performance underscores his importance to France’s campaign as they progress through the competition.
