What to expect from Kylian Mbappe at World Cup 2026
At the tender age of just 19, Kylian Mbappe hit the headlines globally, when he scored a brace during France’s Round of 16 clash with Argentina at World Cup 2018. Those were just two of four goals the talented youngster would net in his opening World Cup campaign.
Four years on and the then Paris Saint-Germain forward, would treble his World Cup goal tally, scoring eight times at Qatar 2022. Although France had to take home runners-up medals, Mbappe rose to the occasion in the Final against Argentina, bagging a heroic hat-trick.
Having scored 12 times during World Cup tournaments, Kylian Mbappe, who of course now plies his trade for Real Madrid, finds himself tied with the legendary Pele for the sixth-most goals in the competition's history. He also lies just one behind another famous French goal machine, Just Fontaine, who netted all his 13 World Cup goals during the 1958 tournament.
As well as the urge to see Kylian Mbappe play, the general desire to travel and see France in action has grown in recent times and many football supporters will be keen to see how they perform in North America in the summer. The two-time World Cup winners are one of only six sides to have been crowned champions on multiple occasions.
