Mbappe Ties France's All-Time Scoring Record
Kylian Mbappe scored France's only goal in a 1-0 win over Senegal on Tuesday night, reaching 57 goals for the national team and drawing level with Olivier Giroud atop France's all-time scoring chart. The Real Madrid star, who turned 27 in December, did it in just 97 appearances.
Mbappe made his senior France debut in 2017 and has become one of the most important players in the country's football history. His international resume already includes the 2018 World Cup title, and he has been a leading figure for France in major tournaments.
The milestone came before the end of his first decade with the senior team. Giroud needed 137 matches to reach the same 57-goal total, highlighting how quickly Mbappe has produced for France.
Mbappe is now one goal away from becoming France's outright all-time top scorer.
