France national team striker Kylian Mbappe scored his 51st goal for "Les Bleus" in the match against Ukraine (0:2) in the first round of the D-2026 qualifying stage. Sport24.az reports that with this goal, the striker has reached Thierry Henry, the former striker of the French national team, in terms of the number of goals scored for the national team.
The top scorer of the French national team is Olivier Giroud, who has scored 57 goals against opponents. Considering that the 38-year-old forward will end his international career after the European Championship in 2024, it seems convincing that Mbappe will surpass him as well.
In the next stage of the World Championship qualifying round, Didier Deschamps' team will face Iceland. This match will take place on September 9.
