Records are made to be broken, it seems. Thierry Henry will still have waited for more than twenty years to see one of his family erased from the tablets. In 2003-2004, when he played under the colors of Arsenal, the former Blues striker had walked on the Premier League by scoring 30 goals.
A total which had then allowed him to become the French player who scored the most goals in one season in one of the four major European championships. And if “Titi” had approached this brand two years later (27 goals with the Gunners in 2005-2006), it remained unrivaled … until Saturday.
Kylian Mbappé does better than Thierry Henry
And it was Kylian Mbappé who finally beat her! Against Real Sociedad, during the 38th and last day of Liga, the Real Madrid star signed a double (38th, 83rd), carrying his number of goals at 31 for his first campaign in Spain. A way for him to enter a little more legend.
And it may not be over for the 2018 world champion, who took the advantage over Viktor Gyökeres and Mohamed Salah in the European Golden Shoe race. An individual trophy that Thierry Henry is for the moment the only tricolor to have won him twice in 2004 and 2005.
