Kylian Mbappé is now the FIFA World Cup’s all-time leading scorer with 22 goals, according to reports. The outlets note that he has reached the total by scoring across three World Cups. His tally moves him one goal ahead of Argentina’s Lionel Messi, who is listed as the previous record holder. One report adds that Messi is set to play in the World Cup final on Monday against Spain, providing context for how the comparison between the two players is made ahead of that match. The coverage focuses on the milestone achievement itself and the updated standings of the all-time scorers list, rather than on broader tournament developments. Overall, both sources agree that Mbappé’s 22 goals are a record at the World Cup and that the new mark separates him from Messi by a single goal.
