'Kylian Mbappe' creates World Cup history with another remarkable record despite France's

New Delhi (VNI) 19 July French football star 'Kylian Mbappe' has once again written his name in the history books. Even though France lost 6-4 to England in the FIFA World Cup 2026 third-place playoff, Mbappe achieved a remarkable world record that has become the biggest talking point after the match.

Mbappe scored two goals against England and once again showed why he is considered one of the best footballers in the world. His speed, finishing ability and leadership kept France fighting until the final whistle.

According to football experts and media reports, Mbappe's two goals took his overall FIFA World Cup tally to 22 goals. With this achievement, he became the highest goal scorer in FIFA World Cup history, moving ahead of Argentina legend 'Lionel Messi', who had scored 21 World Cup goals during his career.

The record is even more special because Mbappe is still only 27 years old. Most football legends achieved such milestones much later in their careers, which means the French captain has plenty of time to improve his record further.

Mbappe has been one of France's biggest strengths throughout the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He led the team's attack with confidence and played a key role in helping France reach the semi-finals. His consistent performances also kept him among the leading contenders for the prestigious 'Golden Boot', awarded to the tournament's highest goal scorer.

The third-place match itself turned into a thrilling contest. England dominated the first half and built a four-goal lead. However, France fought back strongly in the second half. Mbappe inspired the comeback by scoring twice, while his teammates also found the net. Despite their spirited effort, France could not overcome England's lead and eventually lost 6-4.

Although France missed out on a medal, Mbappe's individual achievement became a proud moment for French football. His record once again proved his ability to perform on the biggest stage under pressure.

Born in 'Paris', France, on December 20, 1998, Mbappe began attracting worldwide attention at a young age. He first rose to fame with 'AS Monaco' before joining 'Paris Saint-Germain (PSG)', where he became one of the world's top forwards. In 2025, he joined Spanish giants 'Real Madrid', adding another important chapter to his club career.

Mbappe has already won several major honours, including the FIFA World Cup, multiple domestic league titles and numerous individual awards. His blistering pace, excellent dribbling skills and calm finishing have earned him admiration from football fans across the world.

Experts believe Mbappe's latest World Cup record is another milestone in an already extraordinary career. With many years of football still ahead of him, fans can expect the French superstar to set even more records and strengthen his place among the greatest players in the history of the game.
