44th minute of France-Poland, Sunday December 4, Mbappé lightning strikes for the first time.
Not in the strike for once, but in the pass by shifting Olivier Giroud for the opener.
Already decisive, this action is only the beginning of a recital and finally announces two other magnificent goals at the end of the match.
These are already his eighth and ninth achievements in the final phase of the World Cup, at only 23 years old.
We invite you to relive all his goals, as if it were yesterday… Well, at least for two of them.
1. France-Peru, June 21, 2018: the first and perhaps the easiest
The first goal is often the hardest, but not this time around.
For his first steps at the World Cup, the 19-year-old Parisian remained silent against Australia.
In his second match against Peru, Mbappé only had to push the ball into the back of the net after an attempt by Giroud blocked by a defender.
He then became the youngest goalscorer of the Blues in a World Cup and qualified France in the round of 16.
2. France-Argentina, June 30, 2018: the advent of a monster
This France-Argentina marks the beginning of Mbappé's great story in the World Cup.
Already author of a 70m rush to offer a penalty to his own, the new darling of the fans, already transcended by the half-volley of Benjamin Pavard, put France ahead of Argentina in the 64th (3-2).
The Parisian took the Argentinian defense from behind on his ball before slipping the leather from the left under the Albiceleste goalkeeper.
3. France-Argentina, June 30, 2018: the double in four minutes
This June 30, 2018, Kylian Mbappé is definitely unstoppable.
In the wake of his first goal, the number 10 of the Blues arrives launched at full speed from the right side.
Olivier Giroud slips the ball to him in his race and the native of Body concludes with a touch of the ball.
The bench explodes, France is safe from Argentina and sees the quarter-finals.

4. France-Croatia, July 15, 2018: the winning goal in the final
At 19, Kylian Mbappé is already making every footballer's dream come true, scoring the decisive goal in the World Cup final.
While the Blues lead 3-1, Lucas Hernandez serves the "little French genius" to the opposing 20m.
On a step, Mbappé shifts on his right foot and triggers a low shot, near post.
The Croatian goalkeeper is pinned to the ground.
The Blues are world champions.
5. France-Australia, November 22, 2022: the only lead
Gone on a mission for this 2022 edition, Kylian Mbappé started his World Cup in the best possible way.
Well placed in the opposing 5.50m, he placed a perfect uncrossed header on a center dropped by Ousmane Dembélé.
If the leader of the Blues starts to score with his head, he will become invincible… If he isn't already!
6. France-Denmark, November 26, 2022: the combination on the left side
Positioned to the left of the Blues attack to transplant in the axis and use his right foot, Mbappé also knows how to use his side to be decisive.
All the more so when the latter, Théo Hernandez, is one of the only ones able to follow him on the counter-attack.
Demonstration during the opener against Denmark, with a perfectly executed one-two between the two men.
7. France-Denmark, November 26, 2022: the least aesthetic
Strikes outside the box, fantastic rushes, uncrossed heads… Mbappé has done everything in his career.
Against Denmark, it was necessary to innovate to seal the victory of the French team.
Upon receiving a cross from Antoine Griezmann at the far post, "Kyky" uses his thigh to push the ball into the back of Kasper Schmeichel's net.
A goal that allows the Blues to ensure qualification in the round of 16 in Qatar.
8. France-Poland, December 4, 2022: the most beautiful
The Polish defense may still remember this short break.
This moment when on a counter-attack in the 73rd minute, the number 10 of the Blues puts his foot on the ball, fixes Kamil Glik and Wojciech Szczęsny… Before sending a missile in the middle of the skylight, near the first post.
A splendid strike that allows the Blues to break and fly to the quarter-finals in Qatar.
9. France-Poland, December 4, 2022: the most beautiful tied
15 minutes after his masterpiece, Kylian Mbappé is not satisfied in this France-Poland.
Practically from the same place in the penalty area, the PSG star will once again hook the unfortunate Glik, before going to seek, this time, the opposite skylight.
Szczęsny's almost 2m are not enough… “Kiks” offers himself a fantastic double, and one more page in the history of the World Cup.
The child of Bondy exceeds Pelé, by registering 9 goals in the World Cup before 24 years.
