FIFA World Cup Now there is a direct competition between Mbappe and Messi. Who will score the most goals will now be decided only between these two players. After scoring 2 goals against Iraq in the 100th match of his international career, France’s Mbappe has, in a way, challenged Argentinian superstar Messi. This is because with those 2 goals, Mbappe is now behind only Messi in terms of scoring the most goals in the FIFA World Cup. The same competition between these two players continues in the race for the Golden Boot.
Mbappé now just behind Messi
France defeated Iraq 3-0, out of which 2 goals came from the boots of team captain Kylian Mbappe. With those two goals, Mbappe equaled Germany’s Miraslov Klose’s record of 16 goals and now only Messi is ahead of him. By scoring 2 goals in the match against Austria, Messi broke the record of 16 goals held by Miraslov Klose in the FIFA World Cup.
Mbappé challenged Messi!
Messi now holds the record of scoring the highest number of 18 goals in the FIFA World Cup. But France’s Kylian Mbappe is also not far away from him. In this matter, Mbappe has given a tremendous challenge to Messi. There is a difference of only 2 goals between the two and with the kind of form Mbappe is in, it will not be difficult for him to erase the difference of 2 goals. Simply put, a bad match by Messi can become an opportunity for Mbappe to take the record of most goals in the FIFA World Cup.
Mbappe can break Messi’s record
This is also being said to be the last World Cup of 38 year old Messi. There will be more opportunities for 27 year old Mbappe to play the World Cup in future. Even if he is not able to break Messi’s record of most goals in the current FIFA World Cup, he will still have a chance to make it his name in the future World Cup.
Direct competition for Golden Boot also
The race for the Golden Boot in the FIFA World Cup 2026 currently seems to be between Messi and Mbappe. Here too, Messi has maintained his lead with 5 goals. But Mbappe’s challenge is not going to leave him here either. In the race for the Golden Boot, Mbappe is right behind Messi with 4 goals.
