Mbappé: My Goal is to Win the World Cup, Not the All-Time Scorer Title

French star Kylian Mbappé has told his teammates in the national team camp that his primary goal for the 2026 World Cup is not individual accolades, but to lead his country to win the global title.

According to French newspaper 'L'Équipe', Mbappé emphasized that his absolute priority is to win the World Cup and add a third star to the French national team's jersey, asserting that the all-time top scorer title will come naturally if the team achieves its collective goal.

The French captain is having a remarkable scoring tournament, sharing the top spot in the 2026 World Cup scoring charts with Argentina's Lionel Messi and Norway's Erling Haaland, with each having scored 7 goals so far.

Messi leads the all-time World Cup scoring list with 20 goals, while Mbappé is in second place with 19 goals.

Mbappé hopes to continue his impressive form in the knockout stages as the French team aims to secure their third World Cup title in history.
