Twenty-seven-year-old Kylian Mbappé has played in two World Cup tournaments and 14 total games during his career. In those matches, he’s scored 12 total goals—that’s nearly a goal a game, a magnificent feat given the level of competition in these matchups. In 2018, as a rookie to the event, he scored four goals, helping to take France to victory.
Four years later, he doubled that, scoring eight goals and nearly winning it all again. According to DraftKings, as of May 10, his team and Spain are the favorites to take home the World Cup trophy this time around. If France wins in 2026, Mbappé would join an exclusive group of multi-time World Cup winners. Plus, given his age compared to other stars like Messi and Ronaldo, he’s likely to have another shot in 2030.
