Kylian Mbappé has rewritten the history books once again, claiming the record as France's all-time leading goalscorer in FIFA World Cup history. With 14 goals in 15 World Cup matches, he has surpassed the legendary French striker Just Fontaine, who held the previous record with 13 goals.

Mbappé achieved this historic milestone by scoring against Senegal in the 2026 World Cup. At just 27 years old, this extraordinary feat on the world stage firmly cements his place among the greatest players in football history.

Mbappé's World Cup goal-scoring journey began at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where he scored four goals and played a pivotal role in leading France to the title. He followed that with a spectacular performance at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, netting eight goals to win the Golden Boot as the tournament's top scorer. Continuing his prolific form into the 2026 World Cup, the French superstar has now made the record his own.

With this latest achievement, Mbappé now sits at the apex of France's World Cup scoring charts, ahead of iconic legends such as Just Fontaine (13), Thierry Henry (6), and Jean-Pierre Papin.

Beyond his national record, Mbappé has also climbed the ranks of the World Cup's all-time scoring leaderboard. With 14 goals to his name, he currently stands as the joint third-highest goalscorer in World Cup history, trailing only Germany's Miroslav Klose and Lionel Messi (16 goals each), and Brazil's Ronaldo (15 goals).
