On Thursday evening, Parc des Princes in Paris hosted a match between France and Ukraine as part of the qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The French squad, managed by Didier Deschamps, entered the game as clear favorites, and they delivered as expected.
Following a strong performance, Les Bleus secured a 2-0 victory, maintaining command from the start and emphasizing their superiority within the qualifying group. With this win, France officially claimed direct qualification for the upcoming World Cup.
A standout performer of the evening was Kylian Mbappé, who scored both of his team’s goals. Remarkably, this achievement saw the 26-year-old forward cross the 400-goal mark in his professional career.
The Paris-born star reached this milestone faster than any other player in the 21st century, further cementing his reputation as one of the sport’s most prolific and exceptional talents.
The bulk of Kylian Mbappé’s remarkable goal tally came during his time with Paris Saint-Germain, where he netted 256 goals in 308 appearances. It’s worth noting that since July 2024, the French national team captain has been representing Real Madrid.
His record with the Spanish giants is equally impressive, with 62 goals in 75 matches, showcasing his invaluable role within the squad based in the Spanish capital.
