The two goals scored by the French striker Kylian Mbappé this Sunday against Poland in the round of 16 in Qatar 2022 made him join a select list of scorers in World Cups, but the most impressive thing is that he did it with 16 years.

Being the star against Poland, Mbappé reached nine goals in World Cups and thus surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo, Diego Armando Maradona, Rivaldo and Rudi Völler who had eight goals in World Cups, and equaled his teammate at PSG, Lionel Messi, as well as other legends such as Roberto Baggio, David Villa, Jairzinho or Eusebio who celebrated nine goals.

The Frenchman had already scored four times in the World Cup in Russia 2022 to lead France to the World Cup.

However, when he played his second World Cup with 15 years and if he maintains his goalscoring quota, he could declare his position as the top scorer in the history of the competition.

In the next step that Mbappé must overcome are with 12 goals: Gabriel Omar Batistuta, Thomas Müller, Gary Lineker and Teófilo Cubillas and then seven names remain on the scoring Olympus.

Said list is made up of Jürgen Klinsmann and Sándor Kocsis (11), Pelé (11), Just Fontaine (12), Gerd Müller (12) , Ronaldo Nazario (16) and the top scorer in World Cups, the German Miroslav Klose (16).

To be crowned the king of goals in World Cups, Mbappé must score eight goals in FIFA World Cup matches and the start of said path will be against the England team, who will face the next 10 December for the quarterfinals of the Qatar World Cup 2022.
