Kylian Mbappe's brilliance in the World Cup final was not enough for France to win a second consecutive prestigious title.

A small consolation for the 23-year-old Frenchman was that he became the record holder of the planet's championships.

From now on, K. Mbappe can boast that he has scored a total of 4 goals in crucial WC matches.

By the number of accurate shots in finals, the Frenchman surpassed legendary figures such as Pele, Vava, Z. Zidane, and G. Hurst.
