Kylian Mbappe matches Thierry Henry's record as France's second-highest goal scorer, advancing towards superstardom at Real Madrid

In the world of French football, Kylian Mbappe continues to make history. The young talent has expressed admiration and respect for Thierry Henry, the current record holder for France's all-time top goalscorer, but he is now hot on his heels.

Mbappe is currently one goal behind the legendary Just Fontaine in World Cup goal scoring for France. This puts him in a strong position to surpass both Henry and Fontaine in the near future. However, Mbappe insists that he does not focus on breaking Giroud's record for France's all-time goalscorer. Instead, he remains focused on his performances for the national team.

On September 9, Mbappe will be back in action for the national team in a World Cup qualifying game against Iceland. This match presents an opportunity for Mbappe to add to his tally and move closer to the record. It is worth noting that Mbappe is Les Bleus' second-highest goal-scorer in World Cup history, a testament to his impressive goal-scoring ability on the world stage.

With 52 goals to his name, Mbappe is on his way to becoming France's all-time highest goal-scorer. While he is chasing the record currently held by Thierry Henry with 51 goals, it is important to highlight that Mbappe himself is the player surpassing the previous record holder among French internationals.

Mbappe's goal contributions in matches such as against Iceland will play a crucial role in his quest to break the record. As he continues to perform at a high level for the national team, it seems only a matter of time before he becomes the new record holder for France's all-time top goalscorer.
