Mbappe France s 50-goal milestone! Break the 1-year goal drought in sports wars, and the scorer chases Henry Giru

In the UEFA Nations League third and fourth place final, French captain Killian Mbappe scored his 50th goal in his personal national team career for the Gaul Rooster, and also ended his year-long goal drought in sports games.

The first half of the game was about to end, and the stoppage time just started. Mbappe made a fatal blow in the penalty area with his keen sense of goal. This landmark goal was the 50th goal he won in his 90th game on behalf of the French team.

This achievement has allowed Mbappe to continue to make great strides in the French team history scorer list. Currently, he is only 7 goals away from team's top scorer Olivier Giroud (scoring 57 goals in 137 games), and is only one step away from legendary forward Thierry Henry (scoring 51 goals in 123 games). The names of the two seniors have now become the clear coordinates for Mbappe to catch up.

What made the Real Madrid striker feel even more relieved was that the goal finally broke his year-long goal drought in sports games. The last time Mbappe scored in a sports game in France, it dates back to June 5, 2024, a friendly match against Luxembourg 3-0 at home.

In the next 16 national team games, Mbappe played 11 of them. However, his offensive firepower has been significantly weakened, and he has only scored two penalty shots during this period: one was scored against Poland in the 2024 European Cup group stage, and the other was scored against Spain in this UEFA European League semi-finals. The delay in opening of the sports war undoubtedly puts pressure on the forward core who shoulders the captain's heavy responsibility.

Now, with this extraordinary 50th goal reaching the net, Mbappe has finally bid farewell to this unusual "playing goal drought". He proved with practical actions that he is still the most trustworthy forward sword under Deschamps.
