At only 24 years old, Kylian Mbappé is already the fourth top scorer in the history of the Blues. He is now ahead of the legend Michel Platini in this ranking.
Friday evening, Kylian Mbappé became the fourth best director in the history of the Blues. By scoring his 41e and 42e goals in the tricolor jersey, against the Netherlands, the native of Bondy thus equaled then surpassed Michel Platini.
This performance was mentioned in “L’After Foot”, last night on RMC. Daniel Riolo initially thought that the Paris Saint-Germain striker had more than 80 caps in the Rooster jersey. However, he only has 72, which is exactly the same number as Michel Platini. “He’s really the only player who surpasses Platini, the sports journalist then recognized when learning this information. Yes, Mbappé is a striker and Platini was a 10 but what he does is incredible. It is the only one to be above 0.5 on average. When we talk about crack, we realize it. What he is doing in the France team is incredible and has been since he set foot in this team. It’s extraordinary. He is the one who carries the team, he is captain, he is the boss. »

In the years to come, Kylian Mbappé is set to become the top scorer in the history of the Blues. It’s only a matter of time, but he will most likely overtake Antoine Griezmann (44 goals in 124 caps), Thierry Henry (51 goals in 123 caps) and Olivier Giroud (54 goals in 126 caps).
