Anniversary gift: Mbappe tied with Klose for World Cup goals

The match against the Iraqi national team in the second round of the group stage of the 2026 World Cup was an anniversary for the central striker and captain of the French national team, Kylian Mbappe. Now the 27-year-old player has 100 matches for the French national team in all competitions, which is the 10th figure (the leader is Hugo Lloris, 145). In the duel with Iraq, Mbappe scored a double, reaching the mark of 60 goals in the "Le Bleu" shirt. Kylian managed to catch up with Miroslav Klose in the list of the best scorers of the World Cup. Both scored 16 goals, but if the Frenchman needed 16 matches for this, the German took part in 24. We will remind you that yesterday, June 22, he beat Lionel Messi, who has already scored 18 goals.
