Mbappe equals Messi's record.

With a brace in France's 3-0 victory over Sweden in the Round of 16 on the morning of July 1st, Kylian Mbappe has caught up with Messi's goal tally at the 2026 World Cup (6 goals).

Mbappe scored a brace against Sweden.

In the 45th minute, the French attack combined in a quick corner kick. Despite having little space to maneuver, Mbappe still managed to finish and score, opening the scoring for "Les Bleus". In the 74th minute, from a through pass by Olise, the Real Madrid striker completed his brace, sealing a 3-0 victory.

After four matches at the 2026 World Cup, the French number 10 has scored six goals, equaling Lionel Messi 's tally. Both he and "El Pulga" are the top scorers in World Cup history with 18 goals each. In this year's tournament alone, he has been directly involved in eight goals, a feat Messi has yet to achieve.
