JAKARTA - France international Kylian Mbappe scored twice as his team won 3-1 over Poland in the last 16 of Qatar's 2022 World Cup, Sunday, December 4, evening.
The two goals led Mbappe to the interim leading goalscorer at the 2022 World Cup. The Paris Saint-Germain player has scored five goals so far.
He is two goals ahead of Lionel Messi, Olivier Giroud, Enner Valencia, Bukayo Saka, forced Gakpo, Alvaro Morata and Marcus Rashford who each scored three goals.
This fact makes Mbappe likely to win the Golden Boot or Golden Boot. In addition, the player who almost joined Real Madrid also has the opportunity to win the Golden Ball or Golden Ball.
However, Mbappe insists, that is not the main goal of the 2022 World Cup. He admitted that his ambition was to help the French national team win.
"My only goal is to win the World Cup," said Mbappe, who was the creator of Olivier Giroud's opening goal.
"I didn't come here to win the Golden Ball or Golden Boot. That's not my reason here. I'm here to win and help the French national team," he continued, as quoted by Antara via AFP, Monday, December 5.
Mbappe admits that he dreams of winning the World Cup for the second time. As is known, he participated when Les Bleus won the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
"Of course, the World Cup is my obsession, this is my dream competition," said the 23-year-old.
"I want to come here ready and so far everything is going well, but we are still far from the goals we have set and what I have set."
However, the journey of the French national team is definitely not easy. In the quarter-finals, Didier Deschamps' team had been waiting for England to appear convincing at the 2022 World Cup.
