Kylian Mbappe writes his name into record books to help France shine at World Cup 2022

Kylian Mbappe wrote his name into the record books and underlined why he is surely the best player at this World Cup.

Mbappe scored twice, his double meant France became the first team to reach the knock-out stages and the reigning champions will take a lot of stopping.

Paris Saint Germain star Mbappe is still only 23, he already has 31 goals for his country and 14 in his last 12 games for France which shows he is the in-form player in Qatar. Mbappe is also only the second player - after Pele - to score seven World Cup goals before turning 24 and, at this rate, he could break every record in sight. Ominously, Mbappe turns 24 two days after the World Cup final.
