Kylian Mbappé reiterated his goal to become France’s all-time leading goalscorer after surpassing Thierry Henry to be second on the list after his goal against Iceland on Tuesday.
Mbappé had a goal and an assist in France’s win over Iceland, which made it five goals in five games for the Frenchman this season.
He was asked about surpassing Henry, to which he gave a positive reply about wanting to do more and surpassing Olivier Giroud.
He said: “To overtake him is really great. But there’s still one
person to overtake, I think, so I’m not going to celebrate too much. There’s still work to be done.”
Mbappé was also asked about how his team performed on the night, to which he said: “We’re happy to have beaten our direct competitors. There are quite a few lessons to be learned. These are always good games to analyse.
“We’re still there, we managed to collect a lot of points. There are things we did well, and there are quite a few things to learn from this international break.”
Mbappé will now return to Madrid to face Real Sociedad this weekend.
