Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe continues to shine with the French national team, raising his tally to 51 goals after scoring in his country's match against Ukraine in the World Cup qualifiers (2-0).

Mbappe matched the record of legend Thierry Henry as the second-best scorer in France's history, while fourth place is held by Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann with 44 goals, and the French legend Michel Platini is in fifth place with 41 goals.

The Real Madrid star is now just 6 goals away from equaling the record held by Olivier Giroud (57 goals) as the top scorer in the history of the French national team.

Mbappe, who is 26 years old, is still at the peak of his performance and is the leading candidate to break the record soon, especially as he is relied upon as a key player in coach Didier Deschamps' lineup.
