Milestone! Mbappe scored the 50th goal of the national team and claimed that he still had a chance to compete for the golden ball

Due to the defeat in the UEFA Semi-Finals, the French team could only compete with the host Germany team for the third place; for the two teams, this was a useless battle, and despite this, they still sent their main players to fight. In the end, with the help of Mbappe, the French team had the last laugh and defeated Germany 2-0 and won the third place.

In this game, Mbappe performed well. He participated in all the goals of the French team. He first scored a goal in the 45th minute to help the team establish a lead, and then assisted Olise to score a goal in the 84th minute to secure the victory. Statistics show that Mbappe completed the 17th pass and shot in his French team's career, making a successful player in history, with the most data, 4 more times than Henry, the second-ranked celebrity, and 6 times more than Griezmando, who had just retired and ranked third. Considering that Mbappe is only 26 years old, the record for this data will soar in the future. With a pass and shot, Mbappe was named the best player of the game by UEFA.

It should be pointed out that Mbappe also reached the national team's 50-goal milestone because of his goals in this game. He became the player in the team's history to score 50 goals. Before that, only two players of the French team scored 50 goals, namely celebrities Henry and Giroud. The former completed this data, using 113 games, while the latter used 115 games. As for Mbappe, it only took 90 games. Currently, Giroud ranks first in the French team's historical scorer list with 57 goals and Henry ranks second with 51 goals. Considering Mbappe's current age, if nothing unexpected happens, he will significantly break the record of the French team's historical scorer list; in addition, Mbappe's 55 games behind Lori, who ranked first in the team's history, in the future, he is very likely to become the first in the national team's double list like Messi and Ronaldo.

Looking at European football, Mbappe is also one of the youngest players to achieve a 50-goal milestone. He ranks fourth on this list at the age of 26 years and 5 months. The first and second place are Hungarian legends, Korchis (24 years and 11 months) and Puskas (25 years and 3 months), and the third place is Belgian striker Lukaku, who scored 50 goals, was only 26 years and 4 months old. Currently, it may be one of Mbappe's best-in-class career moments. He has scored goals in his last 8 games (including clubs and national teams), scoring a total of 12 goals and assists 2 times, which is his longest consecutive goal record since January 2020.

After France won the third place in the European League, Mbappe said in an interview that he still has the opportunity to compete for the Golden Ball. "I certainly think there is a chance, but I care more about your opinion than mine. I am not the recipient of the Golden Ball. For example, I have different views on some of the recent winners. So my opinion is not important. In the end, reporters from 100 countries voted, and this award mainly depends on them. The only award I can influence is the Golden Boot, because it only depends on my performance and my performance on the court." Although Mbappe's current honors are only the European Golden Boot and La Liga Golden Boot, he will follow Real Madrid to the Club World Cup next. If he can perform well in this event and help the Galaxy battleships win the championship, he may not have no chance to compete for the Golden Ball.
