Mbappe Leads France with Record Goal Involvements
11 Jul
Summary
- Mbappe involved in 11 goals, a new World Cup record this edition.
- He has scored eight goals and assisted three so far.
- Two French players scoring 5+ goals in a single World Cup edition.
Kylian Mbappe is dominating the 2026 FIFA World Cup, already surpassing previous records for goal involvements.
As of July 11, 2026, Mbappe has been directly involved in 11 goals across six matches, scoring eight and assisting three. This makes him the first player in World Cup history to achieve such a high number of goal involvements in a single tournament.
His previous World Cup campaign in 2022 also saw significant contributions, with eight goals and two assists in seven matches. This consistent high-level performance solidifies his status as a key player for France.
Mbappe's individual brilliance is complemented by teammate Ousmane Dembele, who has also scored five goals in the current tournament. This dual scoring threat is a rare feat, with the last instance of two players from the same team scoring at least five goals in a World Cup occurring in 2002, when Brazil's Ronaldo and Rivaldo achieved this.
