The 27-year-old scored a hat-trick for Les Bleus in the final of the 2022 FIFA World Cup against Argentina on December 18, 2022, and found the back of the net twice against Senegal in France’s opening Group I match of this year’s World Cup. In France’s second match of the ongoing tournament, against Iraq at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Mbappé scored twice in the opening 54 minutes of play.

He opened the scoring in the 14th minute and added his second goal in the 54th minute. Before Mbappé, only Argentina’s Guillermo Stábile, Hungary’s Sándor Kocsis and Lionel Messi had managed to score multiple goals in three consecutive FIFA World Cup matches. Argentina’s Guillermo Stábile was the first player to score multiple goals in three consecutive FIFA World Cup matches. He achieved the feat in the inaugural edition of the tournament, held in Uruguay in 1930. Stábile scored a hat-trick in Argentina’s Group 1 match against Mexico at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo and then struck braces in each of the next two matches against Chile and the United States at the same venue.
