Kylian Mbappé scored twice against England in the FIFA World Cup third-place playoff to become the tournament's all-time leading scorer with 22 World Cup goals, surpassing Lionel Messi's record. The French captain also moved to the top of the Golden Boot standings. Despite the historic achievement, Mbappé admitted he would have preferred playing in the World Cup final over setting individual records.
Ahead of the Argentina-Spain final, Mbappé expressed confidence in Messi, saying, "Leo always scores, and I'm sure he'll score tomorrow too." His remarks have added a new dimension to the race between the two football superstars, with Messi now aiming to respond on the biggest stage in the World Cup final.
