All the records Kylian Mbappé can break at the 2026 World Cup

Kylian Mbappé has another opportunity at the 2026 World Cup to solidify his place among the greatest players in football history. The French superstar is poised to break multiple records in a single tournament.

2026 World Cup

Olivier Giroud's National Team Record

At the 2026 World Cup, Mbappé could become the all-time leading goalscorer for the French men's national team.

He is currently closing in on the record held by Olivier Giroud, who has scored 57 goals for Les Bleus.

If Mbappé scores just twice during the tournament, he will surpass Giroud and claim the honour, marking another significant milestone in an international career where he has consistently been a key figure for France.

  1. Olivier Giroud - 57 Goals
  2. Kylian Mbappe - 56 Goals
  3. Thierry Henry - 51 Goals

Just Fontaine's French World Cup Record

Additionally, Mbappé has a chance to break the French record for the most goals scored at World Cups.

This record is currently held by the legendary Just Fontaine, who scored an incredible 13 goals at the 1958 tournament.

Having already scored 12 goals on the world stage, jut two goals would be enough for Mbappé to beat Fontaine's long-standing tally and become France's top scorer in World Cup history.

  1. Just Fontaine - 13 Goals
  2. Kylian Mbappe - 12 Goals
  3. Thierry Henry - 6 Goals

Miroslav Klose's All-Time World Cup Record

On the global stage, Mbappé could also become the all-time leading goalscorer in World Cup history.

That prestigious record is currently held by Germany's Miroslav Klose, with 16 goals.

Should Mbappé find the net five times during the 2026 tournament, he will move past Klose and become the most prolific goalscorer the World Cup has ever seen.

  1. Miroslav Klose - 16 goals
  2. Ronaldo - 15 goals
  3. Gerd Müller - 14 goals
  4. Lionel Messi - 13 goals
  5. Just Fontaine - 13 goals
  6. Pelé - 12 goals
  7. Kylian Mbappé - 12 goals

World Cup Final Scoring Record

In the eventuality that France reach the final and Mbappé scores, he would extend his lead at the top of the all-time World Cup final top scoring charts.

1. Kylian Mbappe - 4 Goals
2. Zinedine Zidane - 3 Goals
2. Pelé - 3 Goals
2. Geoff Hurst - 3 Goals
