Kylian Mbappé struck again. At the Parc des Princes, the captain of the Blues scored his 52nd goal in selection during his 92nd appearance in the tricolor jersey. With this achievement against Iceland, he exceeds Thierry Henry and settles alone in second place in the ranking of the best scorers in the history of the Blues. A brilliant performance, suffering at only 26 years, which confirms a little more its status as a generational phenomenon.

In front of him, only Olivier Giroud and his 57 goals left. But at the frantic rhythm of Mbappé, there is no doubt that this record is now within reach. Bondy's child, already world champion and Euro finalist, continues his march to history, transforming each meeting into a new legendary page of the French team.
