Real Madrid striker Mbappe scored 10 goals at the World Cup

The French national team, led by Kylian Mbappe, concluded the 2026 World Cup with personal records, as reported by Zamin.uz.

Real Madrid forward Mbappe scored 10 goals during the tournament, earning him the Golden Boot as the top scorer. This marks his second such achievement in his career.

According to the source One.uz, Mbappe scored 10 goals in eight matches.

This feat matched the record set by German legend Gerd Müller at the 1970 World Cup. For over 50 years, no player had managed to score double-digit goals in a single tournament.

This result holds significant historical importance. Despite the individual triumph and team misfortune, as reported by One.uz, Mbappe scored his tenth goal in the third-place match against England.

Although the striker recorded a brace in that game, Les Bleus lost 4:6 and finished fourth. For France, who had gifted Spain a chance in the semifinal, this outcome fell short of expectations.

Mbappe’s journey to the top scorer title began intensely in the group stage, where he scored braces against Senegal and Iraq, signaling his intent.

He maintained consistency in the knockout phase, netting braces against Switzerland, Paraguay, and Morocco.

Despite his personal milestones contributing to history, France’s captain did not celebrate the achievement with great joy.

In a post-match interview, he emphasized that team success mattered more: “Scoring many goals at a World Cup undoubtedly elevates you to a new level, but I would have preferred playing in the final over winning the Golden Boot.”

“It would be nice to leave this as a legacy, but right now, it doesn’t excite me that much,” Mbappe said at the press conference.

For now, Kylian Mbappe returns to his club, Real Madrid.

His next goal is to overcome the team’s disappointment through club-level triumphs and lead France back to the summit in future major tournaments.

For Uzbek football fans, Mbappe’s achievement symbolizes the dawn of a new era in world football — a time when records are being rewritten.
