Kylian Mbappé: World Cup Merchant
No matter what Kylian is doing with his clubs, no matter what his reputation is like with teammates, it can never be denied that the man PERFORMS for his national team.
With his 2-goal performance here, he jumps into the top 3 ALL-TIME for World Cup goals. He is tied for 3rd with the legendary Gerd Muller (14), he only trails behind Ronaldo Nazário (15) and Miroslav Klose (16).
On top of that, his first goal officially put him ahead of Olivier Giroud as France’s all-time leading goal scorer with 58 and his 2nd goal put him even further ahead with 59. It took Giroud 137 caps to score 57 goals for France. Mbappé isn’t even at 100 yet.
Reminder: Kylian Mbappé is 27.
