• Kylian Mbappe reaches another historic milestone for France against Gibraltar
• The striker’s hat-trick helped France to a record 14-0 win on Saturday night
• England will try to win trophies under Calvin Phillips – and it’s only just begun

Kylian Mbappe continues his quest to become the world’s next greatest footballer, beating many of the greats to set his latest record.

The striker scored a hat-trick on Saturday night to help France beat Gibraltar 14-0 in their Euro 2024 qualifiers, reaching another milestone in the process.

Despite Lionel Messi being named the world’s best player for the eighth time and finishing third in the latest Ballon d’Or rankings, Kylian Mbappe is still scoring at an alarming rate.

After scoring 41 goals in 43 games for Paris Saint-Germain last season and winning the 2022 World Cup Golden Boot with France in Qatar, the 24-year-old has now scored 15 goals in 15 games this season .

Mbappe continues to be linked with a move to Real Madrid as he looks to add a Champions League winner’s medal to the World Cup he won in 2018 and help him become a world star following the departures of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo from European football. The best players on the field.

He has beaten those two, as well as former PSG teammate Neymar, to reach the 300-career goal milestone.

Mbappe doesn’t turn 25 until December, but Messi didn’t reach the milestone until he was that age and Ronaldo didn’t reach 300 goals until he was 27.

Neymar was only 25 when he achieved this milestone, although Mbappe will hope to have more success than the Brazilian in inheriting the mantle of the world’s greatest player.

Erling Haaland, 23, currently has 231 goals to his name and will surely aim to emulate Mbappe’s achievements in the coming seasons.

Despite another hat-trick against Gibraltar, French outlet L’Equipe still gave him just nine points in their notoriously harsh player ratings.

Mbappe has also endured a tumultuous season at club level, with PSG boss Luis Enrique recently criticizing the striker despite scoring a hat-trick against Rennes in Ligue 1.

The previous summer, Mbappe was initially banned from first-team training after making it clear he was unwilling to sign a new contract in the French capital.

The former Monaco striker’s current contract expires at the end of the season and he is still expected to move on in the summer, despite Real Madrid recently publicly denying reports of talks with Mbappe.
