Mbappe Eyes Surpassing Giroud's Record After Equaling Henry's France Goal Tally
Kylian Mbappe, after equaling Thierry Henry's France goal record with 51 goals, sets his sights on surpassing Olivier Giroud's all-time mark of 57 goals. Mbappe scored a stunning solo goal in France's World Cup qualifying win against Ukraine, acknowledging Henry's legacy.
Despite Mbappe's 51 goals in 90 appearances, he trails Giroud's 57 goals in 137 games. The match also saw Michael Olise and Hugo Ekitike make their debuts for France.
Mbappe aims to break Giroud's record and solidify his status as France's new talisman, having already won the World Cup in 2018 and being a hero in the 2022 final against Argentina.
