Kylian Mbappe celebrated a landmark achievement for France by scoring his 50th international goal during the 2-0 victory over Germany in the UEFA Nations League third-place playoff.
The France captain opened the scoring in a game where Didier Deschamps’ side looked determined to finish the competition on a positive note after missing out on a place in the final.
Mbappe’s goal was another significant moment in his international career, further strengthening his position among France’s leading goalscorers.
Softfootball reports that the Real Madrid forward has continued to play a central role for Les Bleus since becoming one of the team’s senior figures. His pace, movement and finishing ability have made him a constant threat against opposition defences.
France added another goal after Mbappe’s opener to secure a comfortable victory against the hosts, who struggled to create enough clear opportunities.
The result gave France some consolation following their disappointment in the semi-finals and ensured they ended their Nations League campaign with a win.
For Mbappe, reaching 50 goals for his country represents another major milestone. The forward will now turn his attention to the next challenges with both club and country as he looks to add more goals to his international tally.
