By being named in the starting lineup for the match against Iraq in Group I on the morning of June 23rd, Mbappe officially made history in French football by reaching the milestone of 100 appearances for the national team. At the age of 27 years and 184 days, he became the first "Les Bleus" player to achieve this great feat before turning 30.
This new record officially breaks the previous milestone held by legend Lilian Thuram. Previously, the former Barcelona defender reached 100 appearances in July 2000 at the age of 28 years and 330 days. Mbappe setting this new record more than a year earlier than his predecessor demonstrates the incredible influence and enduring quality of the number 10 star in the national team since his youth.
Historical statistics also offer optimistic signs for the French team. In the past, the French national team has a perfect record of winning all nine matches in which a player celebrated their 100th appearance. Legendary players such as Zinedine Zidane, Thierry Henry, Hugo Lloris, and Olivier Giroud all won on the day they reached this important milestone.
With Mbappe officially joining the "100-goal club," French fans have even more reason to believe in a favorable outcome in the clash against Iraq, maintaining the winning streak in iconic matches for their star players.
