A double goal by Kylian Mbappe sent France to the 1/8 stage in Qatar 2022. Deschamps' team is the first to qualify for the World Cup, but the double goal of the golden boy of PSG also contributes to the writing of new records. Mbappé signed the success against Denmark and fulfilled three personal achievements.
First of all, he managed to equal a record held until now only by Pelé. Like O'Rei, the Paris Saint-Germain striker has scored 7 World Cup goals before turning 24. The seven goals also allowed Mbappé to equal Lionel Messi, being even superior. The Argentinian scored in 20 matches, against the Frenchman's 9 in the World Cup. The France forward has overtaken former Roosters striker Thierry Henry (6) in France's all-time scoring list. Mbappe is now only behind Just Fontaine at 13th.
The France striker was the author of both goals scored by Deschamps' men against Denmark. In the second match of the Group, Mbappe opened the series of goals with a fantastic combination with Theo Hernandez. After the Danes equalized through Christensen, it was again Mbappe who scored France's second and final advantage. With the two goals scored against the Scandinavians, Mbappe goes to quota 3 in Qatar 2022. The Frenchman thus leads the scorers' ranking for the Golden Boot.
