Although he is currently away from Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappe continues to awe everyone with his amazing skills, especially the ease with which he scores goals. Currently playing in the World Cup 2026, with France, the forward is behind only Lionel Messi as the player with most goals, 4.
As was the case in the first game against Senegal, the Frenchman again scored a brace in his side's second game against Iraq. With these goals, he is right behind the Argentine superstar to become the player with the highest number of goals in the tournament's history.
As MARCA has reported, the Merengue star also spoke to the media after this game against Iraq, and while commenting mainly on the French national team, also spoke on his last season with Real Madrid.
When asked about his form coming in to the competition, the Frenchman pointed to his last season with the white club, in which he was once again the team's top goalscorer:
"I did everything I could at Real Madrid, but everyone knows I had a serious injury. Then I recovered, gradually regained my fitness, and returned in the same physical and mental condition, trying to arrive in good shape. But this is just the beginning, and we know we still have many things to improve."
