Kylian Mbappe continues to make history at the 2026 World Cup, after leading his country, France, to a 3-0 victory over Sweden in the round of 32, scoring two goals that strengthened his position among the tournament's all-time top scorers.
The Real Madrid striker raised his tally to six goals in the current edition of the World Cup, sharing the top scorer title with Argentina's Lionel Messi, and confirming his remarkable presence in the race for the Golden Boot.
Mbappe also reached 18 goals in his World Cup career, leaving him just one goal away from Messi, who holds the record with 19 goals, in the race for the all-time top scorer in the World Cup.
The French captain continued to break records, becoming the all-time top scorer in the knockout stages of the World Cup with 10 goals, surpassing the record previously held by Brazilian Ronaldo.
Mbappe’s achievement did not stop there, as he became the first player in World Cup history to score two or more goals in three different matches during two editions of the tournament, after repeating what he achieved in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, confirming his status as one of the most prominent World Cup stars in the modern era.
