Kylian Mbappe is chasing Messi’s record of most goals in FIFA World Cup history.

Kylian Mbappe is slowly gaining the status of a football superstar. The French attacker has broken and created numerous records. Since making his international debut in March 2017, he has been crucial to Les Bleus’ success.

The former Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) attacker helped France win the 2018 FIFA World Cup title and guided the two-time champions to the final of the 2022 campaign.
