Mbappé smashes France scoring record at 27
Kylian Mbappé’s 58th goal in his 99th cap cements his place as Les Bleus’ all-time top scorer—history made, but the ceiling is still higher.
Kylian Mbappé has officially overtaken Thierry Henry to become France’s all-time leading scorer, netting his 58th international goal during his 99th appearance. The milestone arrived in a World Cup qualifier against the Netherlands on October 13, 2024, where Mbappé converted a first-half penalty to seal a 2-1 victory. At 27, he’s already rewritten the record books and shows no signs of slowing down.
The record was previously held by Thierry Henry, who scored 51 goals in 123 matches for France. 41. His 58th goal came just 11 minutes into the match against the Netherlands, a performance that underscored his clutch reputation.
