By scoring France's three goals in the first period against Kazakhstan, Kylian Mbappé has entered a little more into the history of the France team.
Only the triple Ballon d'Or, Michel Platini, can boast of having taken less time to register his three goals in the Blue jersey.
Since October 30, 1985 and a hat-trick from Dominique Rocheteau, already a PSG player, a Frenchman has never scored three goals in the selection on the lawn of the Park.
And in Blue, the last tricolor hat-trick was the work of Olivier Giroud in 2017 against Paraguay.

This is the Parisian's first hat-trick in blue.
Mbappé has found the net in his last 3 games with the France team, a first for the Blues striker.
But this is his first hat-trick.
Previously, he had managed two double in the blue jersey, on June 30, 2018 against Argentina and in Russia on March 27, 2018.

It is also the first time that Mbappé played a match at the Parc des Princes, his usual garden with PSG, on behalf of the Blues.

Another first!
Clever with both feet, Mbappé had never scored with a header with France, sometimes considered one of the weak points of his game. It is now done.
0.42.
This is the ratio of goals scored per game played for
Kylian Mbappé in the France team.
He now has 22 goals scored in 52 caps, an impressive number.
Better yet, Mbappé reached that threshold of 22 goals at the age of 22 years and 10 months.
It is at least 3 years less than any other player (Thierry Henry was 25 years and 10 months old in June 2003 when he scored his 22nd goal).

Only Platini was faster than Mbappé to score his hat-trick.
In the big leagues, you have to look very high to find stronger than Mbappé.
The latter scored his three goals against Kazakhstan in 26 minutes (6th, 12th, 32nd).
Michel Platini, during France-Yugoslavia at Euro 1984, had also scored three times on the lawn of Geoffroy-Guichard.
But in just 18 minutes: 59th, 62nd and 77th.
