Mbappe hits new milestone

The 24-year-old who featured for the duration of the encounter, surpassed Michel Platini's record to become the fourth all-time top scorer in the history of Les Bleus, according to a report from B/R Football.

With 42 goals in 72 appearances, the 2018 FIFA World Cup golden boy now trails only Olivier Giroud (54), Thierry Henry (51), and Antoine Griezmann (44) in his pursuit of becoming France's all-time leading goalscorer.

On the same night, Mbappe also became the first player since Marcel Desailly in 1999 to win each of his first six matches as the France National Team captain from kick-off.

The former Monaco star would fancy usurping Griezmann in the Le Bleus' next clash in an international friendly against Steve Clarke's highflying Scotland side.

Vinicius expresses Mbappe desire

Sports Brief in a previous report stated Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior has added fuel to the fire surrounding Kylian Mbappe's future, which is still unclear despite deciding to stay at Paris Saint-Germain.
