🔝 Simply superb! Mbappé makes even Brazil, England & co pale | OneFootball

That Kylian Mbappé is simply a guaranteed source of goals, he proved once again today in the World Cup round of 16 against Paraguay. Looking at the tournaments since 2018, the Frenchman now has 11 goals in knockout rounds alone. 

According to data provider Opta, that means he has scored more often than Brazil (10 goals), England (10), Portugal (9), and Spain (4). 

But it’s not just these footballing nations he is making look old — Cristiano Ronaldo as well. CR7 has managed only 11 World Cup goals in total for Portugal across his entire World Cup career (group stage and knockout phase). 

All in all, the Real striker now has 19 World Cup goals and is therefore just one goal behind Messi in the all-time World Cup scoring charts. So it should be an exciting race right up to the end of the tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
