Kylian Mbappe created history on Thursday by scoring his 400th career goal during France's 4-0 World Cup qualifier victory over Ukraine at Parc des Princes. The 26-year-old Real Madrid star netted a brace, breaking Lionel Messi's 21st-century world record to become the youngest player since Pele (62 years ago) to reach this milestone. Mbappe achieved the feat at 26 years and 338 days, surpassing Messi who was 27 years and 95 days old. His tally includes 255 goals for France, 262 for Real Madrid, 246 for PSG, and 27 for Monaco. Mbappe is second-quickest this century (537 games), just behind Messi's 525-game record. Erling Haaland could potentially break both records. (PC: X)
