Kylian Mbappé has once again etched his name in the history books, achieving a remarkable feat by scoring his 10th goal in a single tournament. This milestone, the first of its kind in 56 years, places the French star in a commanding position to secure the Golden Boot award for the second consecutive time.

Mbappé's impressive scoring run continued during the recent match, where he added to his tally, bringing his total to 22 goals. This remarkable achievement not only highlights his individual brilliance but also surpasses the all-time tournament goal record previously held by Lionel Messi. The young forward's consistent performance underscores his status as one of the world's elite footballers.

Despite the individual accolades, the French national team concluded their campaign with a 4-6 loss to England in the third-place playoff. This match marked a bittersweet farewell for coach Didier Deschamps. Finishing fourth in the tournament, the team's performance, while not reaching the final, was significantly bolstered by Mbappé's extraordinary individual contributions throughout the competition.
