Mbappé surpassed Klose with a super goal against Sweden
Kylian Mbappé became France's top scorer at the World Cup, surpassing Miroslav Klose with his goal against Sweden, reaching a total of 18 goals.
Kylian Mbappé seems born to play in World Cups. In just three appearances, the French star broke the record of Miroslav Klose, who was previously the top scorer in the tournament's history until Leo Messi surpassed him. Mbappé is leading the scoring list for the French team, while Michael Olise assisted him in this match. Mbappé's sixth goal at the World Cup came in the round of 16 match against Sweden, opening up a rain of goals for the home team. His goal had a personal touch, when from a premeditated corner, Olise passed to Mbappé, and he performed a beautiful upside-down bicycle kick, sending the ball into the far corner of the goal, not giving the goalkeeper a chance to block. This goal also had special meaning, as Mbappé ran to hug coach Deschamps, who had just returned from his mother's funeral. Not only that, in the second half, continuing to receive a pass from Olise, Mbappé scored the third goal of the match, and increased his total number of goals at the World Cup to 18, only one goal less than Messi. In particular, no one else has ever scored so many goals in the knockout rounds of the World Cup, with a total of 10 goals, surpassing legends like Leónidas and Ronaldo Nazário (Brazil) with 8 goals.
