Mbappé scored! Race for the all-time World Cup scoring record is wild
The battle for the title of all-time top scorer in World Cup history remains INSANE!
Miroslav Klose was leading that race before the 2026 edition of the tournament began.
But he saw his 16 goals be "ignored" by Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé while the group stage was still going on.
Argentina's and France's No. 10s are locked in a REAL showdown.
Messi reached 20 goals by scoring in the epic clash against Cape Verde.
And Mbappé got to 19 by opening the scoring for his national team against Paraguay - a match that is currently underway.
After a first half without trouble against France, Paraguay saw the European side step things up after the break.
Introduced in the 60th minute, Doué made a strong impact. And he won a penalty off Diego Gomez.
Uzbek referee Ilgiz Tantashev initially waved play on, but was called over by VAR.
Mbappé went one-on-one with Gil and beat the Paraguayan goalkeeper (70').
The Frenchman's 19th World Cup goal.
His seventh in the current edition - level with Messi.
A second straight World Cup with at least seven goals - he scored eight in 2022.
Also matching Messi, who had been the only one with that stat.
He reached 11 goals in World Cup knockout matches. Pulling clear at the top of the ranking previously led by Leônidas da Silva and Ronaldo.
He now has 63 goals in 103 matches for the France national team. He also has 42 assists.
Top scorers in World Cups:
Lionel Messi - 20 goals
Kylian Mbappé - 19 goals
Miroslav Klose - 16 goals
Ronaldo - 15 goals
Gerd Müller - 14 goals
Just Fontaine - 13 goals
Pelé - 12 goals
