Kylian Mbappé made history at the World Cup by becoming the tournament's all-time leading goalscorer with 22 goals after his brace in France's third-place playoff against England. The French superstar surpassed Lionel Messi's previous record of 21 goals, cementing his legacy as one of football's greatest tournament performers. The Real Madrid forward managed the feat in 22 appearances, scoring four goals in 2018 and eight in 2022 as France reached both finals, beating Croatia and losing to Argentina four years ago.
