Mbappé surpassed Giroud's mark during his 100th cap for France, scoring twice as his country secured early knockout qualification. The 27-year-old Madrid forward reached the milestone faster than any other French striker in history.
His pace of 60 goals in 100 caps is unmatched by any European player at the same stage of their international career. Only Iran's Ali Daei (76 goals in first 100 caps) has scored more across international football history.
Mbappé now sits two goals behind Lionel Messi's all-time World Cup record of 18 and is on track to challenge it during the knockout stages, having already accumulated four tournament goals in just two group matches.
