It was a successful afternoon all-round for France on Sunday -- and the star of the show was Kylian Mbappé, who continued his record-setting pace with an emphatic double.
The team booked its ticket to the quarterfinals of the 2022 World Cup with a 3-1 victory over Poland. And members of the team hit a raft of momentous marks. France’s goalkeeper Hugo Lloris made his 142nd appearance, coming level with Lilian Thuram as his country’s most-capped player. Up front, Olivier Giroud became France’s leading men’s scorer with his 52nd goal for Les Bleus, breaking Thierry Henry’s record.
However, more significantly, Mbappé has scored nine goals in World Cups, becoming the first player to reach that mark before his 24th birthday. Mbappé passed two footballing legends with his double. Both Diego Maradona and Cristiano Ronaldo have eight World Cup goals to their names. And Mbappé’s all-round performance was the source of praise from pundits and commentators alike.
