However, he still managed to be the top goalscorer in La Liga, and is the betting favorite to end the tournament with the most individual goals with +550 odds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14>Sitting in sixth place in all-time World Cup goals, the five players ahead of Mbapp\u00e9 are some legitimate legends. At the top of the heap is Germany&#8217;s Miroslav Klose, who helped his team win the 2014 World Cup. That was his fourth and final appearance at the tournament.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Germany&#8217;s Miroslav Klose holds the all-time record for goals at a men&#8217;s World Cup.

His tournament included a historic hat-trick in the final against Argentina, making him the first player to score three goals in a World Cup final since 1966. Nonetheless, Mbapp\u00e9 and France came up short against Argentina, losing on penalties.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>(Photo by Matthias Hangst\/Getty Images)<\/span> <!--&gt;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14>At the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, Mbapp\u00e9 broke onto the international scene, scoring four goals as a 19-year-old and playing a key role in France\u2019s championship run. During that campaign, he became only the second teenager to score in a World Cup final when he found the net in France's 4-2 victory over Croatia in 2018.<\/p>\n\n--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>POPULAR SEARCHES BROWSE BY Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 has taken the international stage by storm, scoring 12 FIFA World Cup goals in just 14 matches and establishing himself as one of the greatest World Cup scorers of his generation.
