Kylian Mbappe has matched Miroslav Klose's record for the most goals in FIFA World Cup history. The French forward now shares the top of the all-time scoring list with the German legend.
Klose's long-standing mark
Klose set the record during his career, finishing as the top scorer in World Cup history after the 2014 tournament. His tally stood as the benchmark for nearly a decade.
Mbappe's climb to the top
Mbappe has steadily climbed the scoring ranks in recent World Cups. His latest goal brought him level with Klose, placing him among the tournament's greatest scorers.
What comes next
With Mbappe still in his prime, he could surpass the record in future World Cups. The next opportunity will come at the upcoming tournament, where he'll aim to take the top spot alone.
