Mbappé with 22 goals becomes the top scorer in the history of world championships
In the match for the bronze medals of the 2026 World Cup, the national teams of France and England faced each other.
In a dramatic game held in Miami, the 27-year-old star striker of the French national team Kylian Mbappé inscribed his name in golden letters in the history of world football with scored goals.
In the second half of the match, Kylian Mbappé tried to bring his team back into the game when the French national team was trailing 4:0 and became the author of two goals: 48th minute: Mbappé sent the ball into the net past English goalkeeper Dean Henderson with a precise shot from close range, making the score 4:1. 66th minute: With a magnificent left-footed shot from inside the penalty area (approximately 13 meters) he scored a brace (4:2). It was this goal that became Mbappé's 22nd goal in his 22nd match at the World Cup.
Having broken the record of 21 goals belonging to Argentine legend Lionel Messi, he earned the title of the top scorer in the history of the World Cup. At the current tournament, Mbappé started the game with the same tally as Lionel Messi — 8 goals. After the brace he scored in the match, he brought his goal tally at the current tournament to 10 and, leading Messi (who currently has 8 goals) by 2 goals, came very close to winning the Golden Boot award for the second time in his career.
Recall that at the tournament held 4 years ago in Qatar, Mbappé won the Golden Boot with 8 goals, but lost to Argentina led by Messi in the penalty shootout in the final.
