Kylian Mbappé continues to cement his place among the greatest players in World Cup history.
After scoring and providing an ******* ist in France's 2-0 quarter-final victory over Morocco, the Real Madrid star reached 11 direct goal involvements at the 2026 tournament - eight goals and three ******* ists.
The achievement sees Mbappé become the first player in 56 years to record 11 or more goal contributions at a single World Cup. The last to do so was Germany legend Gerd Müller, who scored 10 goals and registered three ******* ists during the 1970 tournament.
Before Müller, France icon Just Fontaine produced the most remarkable individual World Cup campaign of all, scoring a record 13 goals at the 1958 finals - a mark that still stands today.
Mbappé's latest exploits also eclipse several other legendary World Cup performances, including his own outstanding campaign in Qatar, where he finished with eight goals and two ******* ists, as well as Diego Maradona's iconic 1986 tournament. The Argentine captain scored five goals and set up another five as he inspired Argentina to World Cup glory.
