Kylian Mbappe, who scored a hat-trick to help France defeat Gibraltar 14-0, says he still has a long way to go before hitting the 300-goal mark in his career.

In the Euro 2024 qualifying match, France scored more than a dozen goals against Gibraltar, and the 24-year-old striker was instrumental in the victory with a stunning hat-trick. After 30 minutes of action, Mbappe began to tear up the net and added two more goals in the first half.With this hat-trick, the French captain’s career goal total now stands at 300.

Mbappe made history on the day France defeated

After the game, Mbappe said in an interview with TF1, “It’s just part of the process; some players have scored 800 or 850 goals in their careers.”How wonderful is the number 300? I have to keep becoming better for my club and my country.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal against Al-Hazm in a Saudi Pro League game at the beginning of September of this year, making history as the first player to reach 850 goals in his career.With 1044 appearances in his career and 821 goals to his credit, Lionel Messi is not far behind.

Mbappe still has a ways to go before he can tie the record of two football greats in terms of goals scored.But nothing is impossible for the in-form striker for PSG, as long as he has an open future.

The strikers with the highest goal totals in French national team history

Now, this player is third on the French team’s all-time scoring list, surpassing Griezmann.He presently has 43 goals for Les Bleus, trailing only Thierry Henry and Olivier Giroud by 5 and 9 goals, respectively.It’s probably only a matter of time until a player born in 1998 surpasses his two seniors.
