Those two goals pushed him past longtime stalwart Olivier Giroud, lifting him atop the all-time French national team scoring table with a whopping 58 goals. Think about that for a second. And the World Cup records? He's now got 14 World Cup goals, tying him for third all-time with Gerd Müller. He's breathing down the necks of Ronaldo (the OG Brazilian one) with 15, and Miroslav Klose and Lionel Messi, who both have 16. The dude is a legend in the making. This performance wasn't just a win, it was a statement. Mbappé didn't just set the tone for France, he yelled it from the rooftops. With the World Cup final set for this very stadium on July 19, you know France is eyeing that trophy, and with Mbappé playing like this, who's gonna stop them? Get ready, because if Tuesday was any indication, we're in for one hell of a ride.
