Mbappe scored his second goal in the 4-0 win over Ukraine, with Panenka’s penalty and another goal, his third for the national team, taking him to 400 career goals, joining his goals at Monaco (27 in 60 games), PSG (256 in 308), Real Madrid (62 in 75) and Les Bleus (55 in 94). He is also ahead of strikers such as Harry Kane (30 years and 274 days), Karim Benzema (34 years and 4 days) and Thierry Henry (36 years and 30 days).
Kylian reached this milestone at 26 years and 328 days, Messi at 27 years and 95 days, and Cristiano Ronaldo at 28 years and 335 days. There is no doubt that France is Killian’s best medicine. Kylian’s brilliant career came to an end during his time at Real Madrid, when he failed to score against Liverpool in the Champions League and against Rayo Vallecano in the final La Liga match.

Mbappé continues to make history with France and is already within reach of Les Bleus’ all-time top scorer Olivier Giroud. The former player announced his retirement for his country after scoring 57 goals in 137 games, but Mbappe is already two goals behind, having also achieved that goal in 94 games.
The striker despises this person and respects Cristiano, who is one of his idols. “400 goals don’t impress people. If you want to be in the circle of inspiring people, you have to score 400 more. Cristiano Ronaldo’s 1,000 goals? That’s unrealistic. But let’s try something unrealistic. We have to try. You only have one career,” he said after the match.

Mbappe admitted that although his players were on the pitch, his thoughts were in memory of the 10th anniversary of the Bataclan attack. The striker hopes this victory will at least make it a tough day for the French people, especially the families of the victims. “We had to be very smart and make it clear that the most important thing is the commemoration. We wanted to show that we feel we have an identity and that we feel we are a people. What happened is absolutely sad and we feel sympathy for those who are suffering and we all want to come together.”
