Kylian Mbappé continues to write history with the France national team at the World Cup. Already at the top of the ranking of France’s all-time top scorers in the competition, the Blues captain is now widening the gap with the country’s greatest legends.
With 20 goals scored in World Cup history, Kylian Mbappé largely dominates the ranking of France’s top scorers at the tournament. At just 27 years old, the Real Madrid forward now holds a significant lead over Just Fontaine, long considered the ultimate reference with his 13 goals scored during the 1958 edition.

The ranking highlights the scale of his achievement. Behind Mbappé and Fontaine, Thierry Henry sits in third place with 6 goals. An already prestigious tally, but now far behind the pace set by the France captain.

Further down, several icons of French football share fourth place. Zinedine Zidane, Michel Platini and Olivier Giroud each have 5 World Cup goals, while Antoine Griezmann follows with 4.
This record further confirms Mbappé’s unique place in the history of Les Bleus. A world champion in 2018, a finalist in 2022 and still decisive in this 2026 edition, the French striker has built a major part of his legacy on the biggest international stage. With France still in the competition, Mbappé could increase his tally even further — and at this pace, his record may become one of the hardest to break in French football history.
