Mbappé vs. Messi: Who Will Reach the Record for Most Goals in World Cup History?
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
It took 12 years to break this World Cup record, but it could be broken again at any moment. The record for the most goals scored throughout a World Cup career has turned into a contest between the man who set the new mark last week and the man who is likely to surpass it. In his sixth and possibly final World Cup, Argentine Lionel Messi has already scored eight goals, including a hat trick in his opening match, surpassing Miroslav Klose's 2014 record of 16 World Cup goals. French forward Kylian Mbappé is closely following, with 19 World Cup goals, four of which were scored in the first two matches of this tournament. Both entered the championship nearly tied, with Messi having 13 previous World Cup goals and Mbappé with 12. Messi has had more opportunities: this is his sixth World Cup, while it is Mbappé's third.
