Kylian Mbappe: France's Record Scorer at 27

Kylian Mbappe has officially become France's all-time record scorer at just 27 years old. His journey to the top of French football has been marked by remarkable achievements and a determination that has seen him surpass legends like Thierry Henry and Olivier Giroud. Mbappe reached this milestone during France's World Cup opener against Senegal, scoring his 58th goal for Les Bleus. Former record-holder Olivier Giroud expressed his admiration for Mbappe's achievements, highlighting his potential to break even more records, including Miroslav Klose's World Cup goal tally.

Mbappe's international career began in 2017, and it didn't take long for him to make his mark. By his fourth appearance, he had already scored his first goal for France in a World Cup qualifier against the Netherlands. His club career has been equally impressive, starting with a move from Monaco to Paris Saint-Germain, where he became the most expensive teenager in football history. His time at PSG was punctuated by a standout performance in the 2018 World Cup, where he became the youngest French player to score in the tournament and the second teenager ever to score in a World Cup final, joining Pele in the record books.
