Stas du Foot spotlighted on X that two French players scored over 30 goals with a top 5 European club in official competitions this season, with March still underway (Mbappé 31, Dembélé 30).

This is the first time a nation has reached this milestone at this point of a season since Argentina national team teammates Lionel Messi and Sergio Agüero in 2017-18 (Messi 36 and Agüero 30).

It will be interesting to see if the two French players continue to play this fantastic football as it’s possible that Real Madrid and PSG can clash in the UEFA Champions League semifinals.
