France Football: Mbappé, Records & Team Analysis

Author of two goals and a decisive pass in two selections during the first gathering of the Blues of the season, Kylian Mbappé displays, at 26, a full -fed fullness.

Having become the only second top scorer in the history of the Blues by going beyond Thierry Henry thanks to his goal against Iceland (2-1), the Real Madrid striker, can consider very quickly becoming the top scorer in the history of the French team. But its progression is also spectacular in other major rankings.

The goals

At 26 and soon 27, he had a considerable advance on the passage times of Olivier Giroud, top scorer in the history of the tricolor selection with 57 achievements. Before its 27th anniversary, the international neo-retitity had only scored 3 goals with the Blues. With another games for the men of Didier Deschamps by the end of the year, the Giroud record seems more than ever threatened.

The passes

In the passes counter, the Real Madrid striker already dominates the ranking before Antoine Griezmann. Again, Mbappé is a phenomenon of precocity since he was 25 years old when reaching 30 assists in selection. A total that Griezmann reached 32 years old. At the same age as his former partner in selection, Griezmann was 12 offerings.

Selections

To dethrone Hugo Lloris at the top of the greatest number of selections, the path is still long for the Ile -de -France. Kylian Mbappé has just joined the Top 15 ahead of Paul Pogba and his 91 selections and should still grab a few places by the end of the calendar year. If there is still a ditch between Lloris and Mbappé, at this rate, the former PSG should quickly melt on the former goalkeeper of OL. At the edge of his 27th birthday, the latter had 54 selections with the Blues. Or 38 selections less than Mbappé at present.

Capitanats

If there is one record in the France team which seems out of reach for Kylian Mbappé, it is that of the greatest number of capital. The current Captain of the Blues has only brought the armband 23 times since the start of his adventure in selection, against 121 times in total for the record holder in the matter, Hugo Lloris. It must be said that the porter wore the armband for the first during his 20th selection, and did not drop him for a decade. If Mbappé can easily consider integrating the top 5 or even the podium, it is difficult to know if it can one day reach Lloris on this ground.
