France captain Kylian Mbappé continues his unstoppable march into the footballing history books, shattering yet another milestone on the World Cup stage.

By providing two assists in France's final group-stage match against Norway, the talismanic forward has surpassed the legendary Pelé’s record for the total number of goal involvements in World Cup history, cementing his status as one of the tournament's all-time greats.

Following his brace of assists at the Boston Stadium against Norway, Mbappé's total goal involvements in World Cup history now stands at an astonishing 20, consisting of 16 goals and 4 assists.

Brazilian icon Pelé previously held sole possession of the second spot on this prestigious list with 19 goal involvements (12 goals and 7 assists). By leapfrogging the King of Football, Mbappé now stands alone in second place.

The pinnacle of the list remains occupied by Argentine maestro Lionel Messi, who holds the record for the most goals and assists combined in World Cup history.

Bolstered by an incredible 5 goals in just two matches in the current tournament, Messi’s total goal involvements have reached 27—the highest ever recorded in the history of the game.

Spanning six World Cup editions, the legendary playmaker has racked up 18 goals and 9 assists.

Achieving such an unbelievable milestone with a significant portion of his career still ahead of him is a monumental feat for Mbappé.

It is a testament not just to his statistics, but to his sheer, commanding influence on the pitch.

This extraordinary ability to both clinical finish and create opportunities for his teammates has solidified Mbappé's reputation as one of the most impactful players of the modern era.

Having already lifted the World Cup with France in 2018, the forward also boasts a World Cup Golden Boot in his glittering silverware cabinet.
