Mbappé Scores Twice, Joins Elite World Cup Scorers
Kylian Mbappé, the captain of the French national team, has become the fourth player in history to score multiple goals in three consecutive FIFA World Cup appearances. This achievement occurred during France's 3-0 win against Iraq.
In this match, Mbappé scored a brace, adding to his previous goals against Senegal. Notably, the 27-year-old forward also scored a hat trick in the 2022 FIFA World Cup final against Argentina in Qatar.
According to Opta, he joins the ranks of Sandor Kocsis (1954), Guillermo Stábile (1930), and Lionel Messi (2026) as players who have accomplished this remarkable feat. Mbappé will aim to lead France to victory in their final group clash against Norway, having already secured six points in the round of 32 stage after victories against Iraq and Senegal.
