Frustrated.

Kylian Mbappé makes history 👏

With his second goal today, Mbappé breaks a tie with:
⚽ Just Fontaine for most World Cup goals by a Frenchman (14)
⚽ Michel Platini for most major-tournament goals by a Frenchman (15)
⚽ Olivier Giroud for most national team goals by a Frenchman (58)

[Opta Analyst @OptaAnalyst]

Mbappé is now only two goals off the all-time record for goals scored in World Cup matches.
