Kylian Mbappé has once again entered the history of world football after his decisive performance in France's 3-1 victory over Senegal in the opening match of the World Cup, where he scored two goals and was the main player of the match.

With these achievements, he became the top scorer in the history of the French national team, reaching the quota of 58 goals and surpassing Olivier Giroud, who previously held the record. This success confirms Mbappé as one of the most important figures in French football of all time and as the absolute leader of the offensive department of the "Roosters".

In addition to his international record, Mbappé set another remarkable feat in World Cup history, becoming France's top scorer in the tournament with a total of 14 goals, surpassing the legendary Just Fontaine, who had scored 13 goals in the tournament. This figure places him among the greatest scorers in the history of the competition, rising to third place in the overall standings, behind only Miroslav Klose and Ronaldo Nazários, and also surpassing the likes of Lionel Messi.

Another important achievement is the fact that Mbappé is the first player in history to score two or more goals in five different World Cup matches, showing an extraordinary level of consistency on the biggest stage of international football.

He has also scored in three consecutive World Cups, starting with Russia 2018, Qatar 2022 and now in 2026, becoming one of the most consistent and decisive players in the tournament's history.

His performance against Senegal was not limited to statistical records, but also to his impact on the game, as he opened the match with a decisive goal in the second half and then sealed the victory with a spectacular goal in the final minutes. With these achievements, Mbappé continues to solidify his status as one of the greatest footballers of his generation.
