Kylian Mbappé

continues to cement his place among the greatest players in

World Cup

history.

After scoring and providing an assist in France's 2-0 quarter-final victory over

Morocco

, the

Real Madrid

star reached 11 direct goal involvements at the 2026 tournament - eight goals and three assists.

The achievement sees Mbappé become the first player in 56 years to record 11 or more goal contributions at a single

. The last to do so was Germany legend

Gerd Müller

, who scored 10 goals and registered three assists during the 1970 tournament.

Before Müller,

France

icon

Just Fontaine

produced the most remarkable individual

campaign of all, scoring a record 13 goals at the 1958 finals - a mark that still stands today.

Mbappé's latest exploits also eclipse several other legendary

performances, including his own outstanding campaign in Qatar, where he finished with eight goals and two assists, as well as

Diego Maradona

's iconic 1986 tournament. The Argentine captain scored five goals and set up another five as he inspired

Argentina

glory.

With

still chasing another world title, Mbappé remains on course to challenge Fontaine's long-standing record. Regardless of what happens next, the 27-year-old has already secured his place among the greatest players the

has ever seen.
