Relive all seven of Kylian Mbappé's goals at the 2026 FIFA World Cup as the France star battles Lionel Messi and the tournament's top scorers for the Golden Boot.

Kylian Mbappé has leapfrogged Lionel Messi on the all-time World Cup goal-scoring chart as he scored his 21st and 22nd career goals in the tournament.

The 2026 World Cup has seen the biggest names in soccer come to the party in terms of goal scoring. England captain Harry Kane enjoyed another fine tournament with six goals, only for Jude Bellingham to go ahead of him during the knockout rounds with seven.

Mbappé had a goal and an assist after missing a first-half penalty kick, Ousmane Dembélé also scored and two-time champion France beat Morocco 2-0 Thursday in the quarterfinals. “There’s only one way to relax, and that’s by winning. Until we’ve done that, we don’t let up,” Mbappé said.
