Kylian Mbappe has made history by scoring his 22nd goal at the World Cup, breaking the all-time scoring record during his final match of the tournament against England. This remarkable achievement further solidifies his status as one of the best strikers in the world.

Thrilling Bronze-Medal Match

In a captivating bronze-medal match held in Miami, England triumphed over France with a score of 6-4. The 2018 World Cup champions, France, faced a challenging start, trailing 4-0 at halftime against a revamped English squad. Despite the difficult situation, Mbappe, who is 27 years old and serves as France's captain, managed to score in the 48th minute, leveling his tally with Lionel Messi for the most goals scored at World Cups (21) and leading the tournament with nine goals at that point.

Mbappe's Record-Breaking Performance

France's performance improved significantly after Mbappe's goal, with Bradley Barcola adding another six minutes later. Mbappe then struck again in the 66th minute, bringing his total to 22 goals, thus becoming the all-time World Cup goal-scorer and the highest scorer of the tournament with ten goals. He is now in contention to defend his Golden Boot title, which he has been competing for alongside Messi throughout the tournament.

As the tournament nears its conclusion, Messi, likely participating in his final World Cup, will have one last opportunity to claim the Golden Boot when Argentina faces Spain in the final on Sunday. Meanwhile, Ousmane Dembele also contributed to France's tally with his sixth World Cup goal, while England's Bukayo Saka delivered an impressive performance, scoring a hat-trick. Jude Bellingham further etched his name in the record books by becoming England's all-time scorer in this tournament with his seventh goal, securing a podium finish for the Three Lions.
