Kylian Mbappe makes World Cup history: Surpasses Lionel Messi
France star Kylian Mbappe has brought his total World Cup goal tally to 22 with the 2 goals he scored in the match against England.
France and England faced off in Miami in the 2026 FIFA World Cup third-place match. In the high-scoring contest, France national team captain Kylian Mbappe delivered a performance that went down in tournament history.
Finding the back of the net twice in the match, Mbappe increased his career World Cup goal tally to 22. With this, the French star surpassed Lionel Messi, who has 21 goals, to become the highest-scoring player in World Cup history.
The 27-year-old footballer also brought his goal tally in the 2026 World Cup to 10. With this figure, Mbappe earned the title of the player who has scored the most goals in a single World Cup tournament in the 21st century.
One of the names to reach 10 goals in a single tournament in World Cup history was the legendary German footballer Gerd Müller. Müller had reached the same number in the 1970 World Cup.
