Why is Kylian Mbappe always so good at the World Cup?

Kylian Mbappe World Cup Lionel Messi France Gerd Muller Miroslav Klose the Champions League

EAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY - JUNE 30: Kylian Mbappe #10 of France celebrates scoring his team's third goal during the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round Of 32 match between France and Sweden at New York New Jersey Stadium on June 30, 2026 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images).

Kylian Mbappe scored the first and last of France’s three goals as they shrugged off Sweden to book their spot in the round of 16 at World Cup 2026. They were both quite brilliant. They’re always brilliant.

Mbappe is the Prince of the World Cup and is making a play for the throne. His second goal at New York New Jersey Stadium was his sixth of the competition and took him level at the top of the Golden Boot rankings with fellow former Paris Saint-Germain forward Lionel Messi.
