Mbappé is unquestionably their talisman and he equalled Olivier Giroud as France’s all-time record goalscorer after breaking the deadlock against Senegal. The 27-year-old was miles from his best in an underwhelming first half but he came alive after the break to slot past Eduoard Mendy after a sublime through pass from Michael Olise. That brought up Mbappé’s 57th goal in his 99th appearance for his country and he then made history in stunning style. Immediately after Senegal made it 2-1, Mbappé scored an outrageous second goal from long-range to become France’s all-time record goalscorer on 58 and seal the win!
France’s all-time record goalscorers
Mbappé eclipsed Giroud's total of 57 goals in remarkable style and but surpassed the landmark in 38 fewer games than the former Arsenal and Chelsea striker. Mbappé also surpassed Pele’s tally of 12 World Cup goals and the Madrid superstar is now only two goals behind Miroslav Klose’s record of 16. The top ten list of France’s top ten goalscorers is littered with world-class players with Thierry Henry, Antoine Griezmann, Michael Platini and Zinédine Zidane all featuring. It’s just a matter of time until Mbappe breaks Giroud’s record and that’s likely to arrive in France’s next game against Iraq.
