Kylian Mbappé continues to rewrite World Cup history after inspiring France to a 2-0 victory over Morocco and booking Les Bleus’ place in the semi-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Softfootball gathered The France captain now boasts an astonishing record of 20 World Cup goals in just 20 appearances, with 12 of those strikes coming in 11 knockout matches, underlining his reputation as one of football’s greatest big-game players.
Mbappé is now just one goal behind Lionel Messi in the all-time men’s World Cup scoring charts and has already netted eight goals at the 2026 tournament.
Despite seeing a first-half penalty brilliantly saved by Yassine Bounou after a lengthy delay, the 27-year-old responded in emphatic fashion after the break, opening the scoring before providing the assist for Ousmane Dembélé to wrap up France’s victory.
With France now through to the semi-finals and Mbappé producing another match-winning display, the race for both the Golden Boot and World Cup glory remains firmly within his sights.
