Henry Congratulates Mbappe After Matching His Record
French star Thierry Henry congratulated his compatriot Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid's striker, after he matched his record by scoring 51 goals for the France national team in the match against Ukraine, which ended in a 2-0 victory in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
Mbappe, who scored the second goal for the French team in this match in the 82nd minute, is now second alongside Henry on the list of all-time top scorers for the France national team, being 6 goals behind Olivier Giroud, who holds the first place with 57 goals.
Henry, the former star of Arsenal and Barcelona, wrote to Mbappe after he matched a record that many have struggled to reach for years: "Well done, this was made in Clairefontaine."
Henry refers to Clairefontaine, the famous football academy in France, which produced both him and Mbappe, along with many other well-known names such as Nicolas Anelka, Louis Saha, and William Gallas.
