Kylian Mbappe showed a brilliant performance at the 2022 FIFA World Cup
Kylian Mbappe‘s hattrick versus Argentina in the 2022 FIFA World Cup has made him the first player to score four goals in the FIFA World Cup final. The 23-year-old France ace was mostly kept inactive during the Qatar 2022 final; however, 10 minutes from the close of regular time, he erupted with two instant goals that evened the score line.
As a result, Mbappe emerged as one of just six players to score in two different FIFA World Cup finals and the youngest player in World Cup history to score ten or more goals. Lionel Messi’s extra-time goal in the final regained Argentina’s advantage, but Mbappe’s plan from the penalty spot that accomplished his hat-trick tied the game.
With his third goal, Kylian Mbappe scored four times in the FIFA World Cup finals, surpassing Hurst, Pele, Vava, and Zinedine Zidane to become the highest goalscorer in football’s most crucial game. The Paris Saint-Germain player scored sufficient goals to clinch the Golden Boot ahead of Lionel Messi.
However, that was a little blessing, given that France eventually lost a penalty showdown. Nevertheless, Mbappe’s historic feats saw him finish the 2022 World Cup with a record of 12 goals in 14 games, which was the same as Brazilian legend Pele.
