Kylian Mbappe Breaks Multiple Records at FIFA World Cup 2026

Kylian Mbappe has been a standout performer at the FIFA World Cup 2026, breaking several records during France's campaign. As of July 10, 2026, he has scored crucial goals, including a strike that helped France secure a 2-0 victory against Morocco in the quarterfinals.

Kylian Mbappe Becomes France's All-Time Top Scorer

Mbappe achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming France's all-time top scorer in World Cup history. His goal against Senegal marked his 14th World Cup goal, surpassing Just Fontaine's long-standing record of 13 goals, all scored during the 1958 tournament. He has since increased his tally to 20 goals, just one behind Lionel Messi in the overall World Cup scoring list.

Mbappe Leads in Non-Penalty Goals

In addition to his scoring feats, Mbappe is now tied with Messi for the most non-penalty goals at the World Cup, each boasting 17 non-penalty goals. This achievement highlights his efficiency and skill in high-pressure situations. His goal against Morocco further solidified his position as one of the tournament's top players.

Record-Breaking Goal Contributions

Mbappe also set a new record for goal contributions at the World Cup. His assist for Ousmane Dembele against Morocco made him the first player to achieve 11 direct goal contributions in two different World Cups. This follows his successful run at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, where he recorded eight goals and two assists.

• Top Scorer for France: 64 goals
• World Cup Goals: 20 goals
• Non-Penalty Goals: 17 goals
• Knockout Goals: 12 goals
• World Cup Appearances: 20 matches

As Mbappe continues to break records, he has also become the joint record holder for the most appearances for France at World Cup finals, achieving this milestone alongside Hugo Lloris. At just 27 years old, he is the youngest player to reach this landmark.
