He scored a hat-trick in the final of the World Cup but did not become the champion for the second time. While the Argentinians were celebrating the conquest of the football planet, the fact that Kylian Mbappe became the first player in history to score four goals in the World Cup finals somehow went under the radar. Pele (two in 1958, one in 1970), Wawa (two in 1958, one in 1962), Geoff Hurst (hat-trick in 1966) and Zinedine Zidane (two in 1998, one in 2006) each scored three.𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝑴𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒄𝒐 & 𝑷𝑺𝑮297 games217 goals12 trophies𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝑭𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆66 games36 goals𝑨𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝑪𝒖𝒑14 games12 goals1 trophy1 Golden Boot1 hat trick in the finalKylian Mbappé turns 24 today. He’s still just getting started 🤯 pic.twitter.com/aBjp2YaX8U— B/R Football (@brfootball) December 20, 2022 Mbappe showed in Russia in 2018 that he would be a great football player, and that football history will remember him as a great man even though at that time, he was just starting his already impressive career. He was the scorer of four goals then, including the one in the final against Croatia. And already after two World Cups, we can state that Mbappe has 12 goals at the World Championships, the same number as the legendary Pele. The catch is that the superstar of the French national team just turned 24 today, which means that three more World Cups and several hundred more goals await him.He’ll be backNo one questions anymore that Mbappe will break the record of Miroslav Klose, the best goal scorer in the history of world competitions with 16 goals, and one-day Mbappe could succeed Cristiano Ronaldo as the best scorer in the history of football (currently at 813 goals scored). In order to highlight Mbappe’s goal-scoring dominance, we will look back at his brutal numbers on the day of his 24th birthday. As a football player of Monaco, he scored 27 goals, 190 in the Paris Saint-Germain jersey, and 36 for the French national team. Overall, he has 253 goals in 363 games.##NAJAVA_MECA_6899957##In comparison, Neymar is currently the only one who had more goals on his 24th birthday only four more. He even scored 70 while playing for Brazil’s Santos, which, you will agree, is another level compared to European football, the Champions League and the top five leagues. Ronaldo Nazario, the Brazilian legend had 233 goals at the age of 24, Lionel Messi 197, Cristiano Ronaldo 132, Karim Benzema 127, and Thierry Henry (the best scorer in the history of France before the Qatar World Cup), only 89. We may not be aware of it yet, but de facto, we have been living in the era of Kylian Mbappe for some time now.
