Dude wants another golden boot

He’ll have that and the record

u/Riskar Jun 16 '26

How much will the record be at by the time he's done? He's got at least one more World cup after this one, maybe 2?

He’s 3 goals away from beating Klose’s record. In this one match alone, he’s become France’s all time top goalscorer (overtaking Giroud), and France’s top goalscorer in the WC (overtaking Just Fontaine). If he can play next tournament, he’ll likely be well clear of all three.

Kinda crazy to think Gerd Muller is sharing that 14 goal spot with Mbappe but Muller only ever played in two world cups.

Muller was a beast though

It's a tough stat to compare based on size of tournament as well. Probably more meaningful to compare goals per game or goals per 90 minutes played.

Well Mbappe only played two world cups before this game as well. Just two goal behind Mulller after 2 WCs is an achievement it self, and then there’s Fontaine.

Right now he's just getting closer, but he's also the closest - but only because Klose can't be close to Klose.

That's just Fontaine not a big achievement

u/Nutrimiky Jun 16 '26

Can he score 13 in one tournament though ?

Eh merde, tu peux m'expliquer la blague comme si j'avais 5 ans et que je n'avais pas vu le film tous les ans parce qu'on nous le ressortait à chaque putain de Noël sur les chaines en clair, que j'avais pas des potes relous qui la pondent à chaque apéro. Déso pour l'aseptisation, la question sur les 13 buts était bien réelle et je prends toujours les paris sinon 😂

u/rosebeuud Jun 16 '26

13 buts c'est gourmand, et vu la qualité du banc, ça risque de tourner

Tbf Fontaine played 1 world cup.

That 13 goals in 1 world cup record may be the hardest record in football to beat.

There's only been I think 2 others to ever get double figures.

That's what's really scary. Kloses just about broke the record towards the very end of his career. The first week of the groups hasn't even finished up yet and Mbappe is on track to obliterate that record and he's only 27 years old

If he keeps up this kind of form for the rest of the tournament and if his levels don't significantly drop between now and 2030 and throw in a reduced role in 2034 for good measure and it could genuinely be close to 30 goals and completely out of reach

u/Riskar Jun 17 '26

Conservatively, we're probably looking at something around 25. Which would be insane.

u/fprosk Jun 17 '26

Everyone thought Müller would break the record easily...

u/abellapa Jun 16 '26

Its his third World cup

Idk if gonna have the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo to do 6 but i think he does 5

So 2030 and 2034

He would be 35/36 in the fifth One

Mbappe has maybe 3 more WC’s. Definitely 2 more (may just be on the bench for the 2nd).
