🔥 What’s the limit? Mbappé racks up absurd World Cup records
🔥 What’s the limit? Mbappé racks up absurd World Cup records Would anyone dare say what Kylian Mbappé’s limit will be when it comes to records and absurd World Cup milestones? France’s No. 10 is only 27 years old, but he was already a World Cup champion in 2018 and runner-up in 2022. And he only keeps strengthening his name among the tournament’s all-time greats. He reached 19 goals in World Cup history against Paraguay, not letting leader Messi (20) pull away. He has scored that many goals across 19 matches in three World Cup editions. He averages one goal per game. Mbappé was tied with the then-record holders Leônidas da Silva, the "Black Diamond," and Ronaldo Fenômeno with eight goals in World Cup knockout matches. But he now has 11 and is starting to pull ahead after scoring against Sweden (twice) and Paraguay. He’s unstoppable 🔥 Mbappé surpassed Klose and became the top scorer in matches against South American national teams with seven goals. Only he, Ronaldo (1998, 2002 and 2006), and Klinsmann (1990, 1994, 1998) have scored in three straight Round of 16 matches. The French No. 10 is among the three players with the most goal involvements in World Cup knockout matches. He has 11 goals and one assist. Pelé scored seven times and added five decisive passes. Messi, meanwhile, has six goals and six assists. In other words: he is battling the Argentine for the top spot in yet another ranking. Outdoing Brazil 🇧🇷 since 2018 🙄 Mbappé has more goals in World Cup knockout matches than Brazil since the World Cup in Russia. He has the already mentioned 11 goals against the Seleção’s ten — who will play Norway this Sunday (5). Belgium and England — who will also still play in the Round of 16 — have the same ten goals. Only Argentina (16), France without Mbappé (14), and Croatia (12) have scored more after the group stage. 😳 'Ignores' Cristiano Ronaldo CR7 is the only player in history with at least one goal in six World Cup editions. But he has only 11 goals in total since the 2006 edition. That is exactly the same number Mbappé has posted only in the already highlighted knockout matches. The striker’s next challenge will be Morocco, his opponent in the World Cup quarterfinals. The match will be played in Boston next Thursday (9). Will he make history again?
