Mbappe breaks France and World Cup records after win over Senegal
Kylian Mbappe scored twice as France beat Senegal 3-1 in their 2026 World Cup opener, surpassing Olivier Giroud to become the all-time leading scorer for the national team with 58 goals and setting a new record for most goals by a French player at a single World Cup. Mbappe's 14 goals at the tournament broke Just Fontaine's 1958 record of 13, and he now trails only Miroslav Klose's all-time World Cup record of 16 goals.
