Kylian Mbappé Matches Thierry Henry as France’s Second All-Time Top Scorer

Kylian Mbappé scored his 51st goal for France, matching Thierry Henry’s record and strengthening his place among football legends.

ANOTHER GOAL, ANOTHER MILESTONE

Mbappé has scored in each of his four games this season. His latest goal brings his total for France to 51, tying him with Thierry Henry as the country’s second-highest scorer. Only Olivier Giroud is ahead with 57 goals. Mbappé reached this mark much faster than Henry, showcasing his remarkable talent.

THE SEASON SO FAR

Mbappé is having an amazing season. He has scored three goals in three La Liga games for Real, quickly adapting to Spain, and scored his first goal wearing Real Madrid’s iconic number 10 shirt. He leads the La Liga scoring chart and has played 267 minutes. For France, he remains the main attacking threat, adding another goal during the recent international break.

LOOKING AHEAD

France is doing well in the UEFA Nations League, building on their Euro 2024 campaign, where Mbappé was captain. Their next match is crucial to maintain their lead in the group. Mbappé’s club will play Real Sociedad next in La Liga, aiming to stay near the top of the table. With only Olivier Giroud ahead of Mbappé in France’s history, expectations are high for the 26-year-old to become the all-time top scorer before the season ends.
