🔝 Simply superb! Mbappé even leaves Brazil, England & co behind

🔝 Simply superb! Mbappé even leaves Brazil, England & co behind Kylian Mbappé once again proved today in the World Cup round of 16 against Paraguay that he is simply a guaranteed goalscorer. Looking at the tournaments since 2018, the Frenchman has now scored 11 goals in knockout matches alone.  According to the data portal “Opta,” that means he has scored more often than Brazil (10 goals), England (10), Portugal (9), and Spain (4).  But it’s not just these football nations he is making look old — Cristiano Ronaldo as well. CR7 has scored only 11 World Cup goals for Portugal in his entire World Cup career (group stage and knockout phase combined).  All in all, the Real striker now has 19 World Cup goals for his national team and is therefore just one goal behind Messi in the all-time World Cup scoring charts. So it should be an exciting race right up to the end of the tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
