France’s top goal scorer in FIFA World Cup history, Kylian Mbappe, commended his team’s potential while admitting they are not yet the strongest team. Despite missing a penalty at the start, Mbappe scored in the 60th minute, leading France to a 2-0 victory over Morocco in the quarter-final.
Mbappe expressed that although the team has immense potential, they have not achieved the same success as his previous World Cup experiences. He emphasized the importance of winning trophies to be considered the strongest team.
Having reached their third consecutive semi-final, Mbappe, who holds records for being the youngest player in 20 FIFA WC matches and fastest to score 20 WC goals, sees this as a significant moment. He remains indifferent about their potential semi-final opponent between Belgium and Spain, focusing on recovery and readiness for the upcoming match.
Scoring his eighth goal in the 2026 tournament, Mbappe has now accumulated 20 goals across three World Cup editions, aiming to equal Messi’s record of 21 goals in the competition.
