Kylian Mbappé reaches 57 goals, ties Olivier Giroud for France record

Kylian Mbappé scored his 57th goal for the France national team against Senegal on Tuesday evening, drawing level with Olivier Giroud as the joint all‑time top scorer for Les Bleus. The milestone comes nine years after his first cap and puts him one goal away from overtaking Giroud outright. Mbappé's 57th strike brings him level with Olivier Giroud, who also has 57 goals for Les Bleus. Both players now sit ahead of Thierry Henry, whose tally stands at 52 goals. Giroud had previously overtaken Henry during the 2022 World Cup to claim sole possession of the record. That milestone placed him at the summit until Mbappé matched his total.
