Cloze: Messi or Mbappe can break my record

Former Germany national team striker Miroslav Klose emphasized that his record for goals scored in World Cup history may soon be broken. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This was reported by *euro-football.ru*. During his career, Klose participated in four World Cups and scored a total of 16 goals.

Among current active players, Lionel Messi (13 goals) and Kylian Mbappe (12 goals) have the closest results to him. According to Klose, Messi may break this record at the 2026 World Cup.

Also, Mbappe might achieve this result in 2026 or 2030. Klose said: "I am a fan of Leon and as long as he continues playing football, I wish him the best.

Mbappe stands out with his amazing talent. I hope both stay healthy and fully demonstrate their abilities.

But for now, I hold the best record and I am the only player who has played four times in the World Cup semifinals." As a reminder, Messi won the championship at the 2022 World Cup held in Qatar, while Mbappe was the winner at the 2018 World Cup held in Russia. Klose won the top prize with the Germany national team at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
