This victory secured “Les Bleus” a spot at the 2026 World Cup, and Mbappé himself reached the remarkable milestone of 400 goals at just 26 years old.
Mbappé also became the first French national team player in 34 years to score in six consecutive matches. The last to achieve a similar feat was Jean-Pierre Papin, who netted in seven straight games back in 1991.
This season, Mbappé has 28 goals in 20 matches for club and country.
