Kylian Mbappé’s Meteoric Rise: A Journey Beyond Legends, Faster Than Ronaldo and Messi
Kylian Mbappé has not only set the football pitch ablaze but has etched his name in history by reaching the 300-goal milestone faster than legends Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. The 24-year-old achieved this remarkable feat in a jaw-dropping 14-0 victory against Gibraltar, leaving football enthusiasts in awe.
Former France great Thierry Henry, currently coaching the Under-21 team, expressed his admiration, stating, “What this kid is doing is really out of this world. It’s just unbelievable.” Mbappé, often compared to Henry earlier in his career, shares a football journey that started at France’s Clairefontaine academy and includes winning the French league title at Monaco.
In the 2018 World Cup, Mbappé mirrored another of Henry’s accomplishments, securing victory in his first major tournament with France. Now, with 21 goals in 19 matches this season and 46 goals in 74 international appearances, Mbappé is leaving an indelible mark. His 17th career hat-trick against Gibraltar puts him just five goals behind Henry on France’s all-time scoring list and 10 goals away from teammate Olivier Giroud’s national record.
Jean-Pierre Papin, former Marseille, and AC Milan striker believes Mbappé’s best is yet to come. “When you’re not even 25 and you’ve scored 300 goals, the best is yet to come,” Papin said. He envisions Mbappé consistently scoring 45 to 55 goals each year for years to come, emphasizing the rarity of such precocity and regularity.
As the football world marvels at Mbappé’s achievements, the comparison with Pelé emerges. While Pelé’s exact goal count remains a topic of debate due to including goals from friendlies or matches against semi-professional teams, Mbappé’s trajectory appears set for greatness. Thierry Henry humorously suggested the 1,000-goal mark, acknowledging it’s up to Mbappé to decide.
For Mbappé, reaching 300 goals is just a milestone on his journey to make history in his sport. “I know where I want to go, and I want to score a lot more than 300 goals,” he emphasized. As the football world watches in anticipation, Mbappé’s relentless pursuit of greatness continues, leaving fans eager for the next chapter in his extraordinary career, etch his name in football history! ⚽🚀 #Mbappe300 #FootballProdigy #GoalScoringMaestro https://www.sportiwe.com/
