Kylian Mbafe (24, Paris Saint-Germain), the core of France's 'Art Soccer', is about to be crowned the world's best goal scorer at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.



Mbappe scored two goals in the second leg of the Group D match between Denmark and Qatar at Stadium 974 in Doha, Qatar on the 27th Korean time, leading France to a 2-1 victory and leading France to the round of 16 for the first time.



Lionel Messi (35, Paris Saint-Germain), the owner of the golden left foot, saved Argentina from the edge by recording one goal and one assist, and Robert Lewandowski (34, FC Barcelona), Poland's 'goal scoring machine', was in his mid-30s. Even on the 27th, the veteran's fighting spirit embroidered the Qatar World Cup beautifully, including finally scoring for the first time in the World Cup.



However, the spotlight of the world media is focused on Mbappe, who is solidifying his position as a top-notch goal getter at a young age in his early 20s, in line with the symbolism of the birth of the first team to advance to the round of 16.



Mbappe scored two goals in succession with his right foot and right thigh that day, contributing to the victory.



Explosive speed and animal-like goal sense that never misses a chance are Mbappe's trademarks.

Mbafe, who made his World Cup debut in Russia in 2018, scored one goal in the group stage at the time and scored two goals in the round of 16 against Argentina, where he scored seven goals, leading to a 4-3 victory.



Mbappe, who scored 4 goals in the first World Cup, including a key goal in the 20th minute of the second half in the final defeating Croatia 4-2, increased his World Cup total to 7 goals by adding 3 goals only in the group stage in this tournament.



He also scored 31 goals in A-match, standing shoulder to shoulder with France's great midfield commander, Zinedine Zidane.



Mbappe, who celebrates his 24th birthday on the 20th of next month, also became the second player in history to score seven goals in a World Cup before turning 24, along with 'football kingpin' Pele.
