Kylian Mbappe Becomes France's All-Time Top Scorer at World Cup

Kylian Mbappe has officially cemented his status as France's all-time leading scorer in World Cup history. The prolific striker achieved this milestone by netting two goals in France's 2026 World Cup Group I opener against Senegal at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

With these two crucial goals, Mbappe's international tally for France reached 58, breaking the previous record of 57 held by Olivier Giroud. The 27-year-old has amassed this impressive record in 99 matches since his debut in 2017, showcasing his consistent impact on the national team across various competitions.

Beyond his national record, Mbappe is also making a strong bid for the Golden Boot at the 2026 World Cup. He is currently tied for third place in the tournament's scoring charts with 14 goals in 15 matches, placing him alongside legendary German striker Gerd Muller. He needs just three more goals to potentially surpass the all-time World Cup record of 16 goals set by Miroslav Klose.

France has two more group stage matches scheduled against Iraq and Norway, offering Mbappe ample opportunity to further extend his goal-scoring record. Should France advance deeper into the tournament, his chances of becoming the World Cup's top scorer will only increase.
