Doha: Kylian Mbappé continued his remarkable FIFA World Cup legacy by breaking the all-time record for goals scored in the tournament's knockout stages, leading France national football team to a commanding 3-0 victory over Sweden national football team in the Round of 32 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The 28-year-old forward scored twice in the knockout clash to register his 10th World Cup knockout goal, surpassing the previous record held by Brazilian legend Ronaldo Nazário. The historic achievement further cements Mbappé's reputation as one of the greatest performers on football's biggest stage.

Mbappé's brace also saw him overtake German great Miroslav Klose in the all-time FIFA World Cup scoring charts. His overall World Cup tally now stands at 18 goals, moving him ahead of Klose and reinforcing his rapid rise among the competition's all-time legends.

Still in the prime of his career, the Real Madrid CF star has already achieved milestones that many of football's greatest players took entire careers to reach. With France advancing comfortably to the next round, Mbappé will have further opportunities to extend both his overall World Cup goal tally and his newly established knockout-stage record.
