And Kylian Mbappé’s scoring quota reappeared. The French striker scored two goals in just three minutes in Argentina vs. France for the final of Qatar 2022, marking a record that only five players have achieved in history.
Kylian Mbappé has returned to say present in the World Cup final, as in Russia 2018 when he scored one of the four goals with which they beat Croatia.
In Qatar 2022 he appeared in the 80th and 81st minute to achieve the French feat of equalizing 2-2 on the hour. Thus, Mbappé continues adding historical records in the World Cups. At 23 years old -20 turns 24-, and his name rubs shoulders with the greats of football.
With his goal against Argentina, Mbappé has equaled Vavá, Pelé, Paul Breitner and Zinedine Zidane as the players who have scored in two World Cup finals.
