Kylian Mbappé has reached 16 goals in 16 World Cup appearances, a ratio that keeps him among the most efficient scorers in the tournament’s history.
The France striker has maintained a goal-a-game record across the competition, with several of his strikes coming in knockout matches. His impact dates back to his first World Cup, when he announced himself with decisive goals in the latter stages.
That output has only grown as his role in the France attack has become more central. His pace, quick decision-making in tight spaces and clean finishing have underpinned the scoring run.
France’s set-up has also given Mbappé room to attack the box more often, while creative midfielders have helped keep chances coming. The result is a World Cup record built on consistency as much as big moments.
