The King of the World Cup?

Kylian Mbappé enters 2026 not just as a star, but as a veteran looking to conquer the world again. After the heartbreak of 2022, he has dismantled defenses across Europe for another four years.

The Records in Sight

  • All-time World Cup Goals: He is terrifyingly close to Klose's record.
  • Most Golden Boots: A second one would put him in a league of his own.

The Pressure Gauge

France is stacked, but the expectation is suffocating. Anything less than a semi-final is a failure. For Mbappé, anything less than the trophy is a disappointment.

He has the speed, the finishing, and the mentality. But can he drag Les Bleus to glory on North American soil?
