With the successful penalty, Mbappe eclipsed former France great Just Fontaine for scoring most goals in a single season for both club and country. Mbappe now has 54 goals for club and country combined in ongoing season, one more than Fontaine’s 53 in 1957-58 season.
The goal was also Mbappe’s 40th for Les Bleus for whom he has played 70 games so far. The star striker is now fifth on the list of most goals scored for France. Olivier Giroud leads the list with 54 goals in 123 matches for the Les Bleus.

Among the current international stars, Mbappe drew level with Norway and Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland with his 40th goal. The Norwegian star, however, will have a shot at going past Mbappe when his team takes on Cyprus on Tuesday in the ongoing Euro 2024 qualifiers.
Haaland, with his sheer strength and clinical finishing, has become a force to be reckoned with, terrorizing defenders and finding the back of the net with ease. Mbappe, on the other hand, showcases his electrifying pace and technical s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s, leaving opponents in his wake as he finds the goal with precision. With such prolific goal-scoring numbers, it’s evident that these young superstars are destined for greatness.
