Messi became the only player with 17 World Cup goals after his double against Austria. A few hours later, Mbappé didn't want to be outdone.
Two goals from the Frenchman, in France's 3–0 win over Iraq, mean he shares second place with Germany's Miroslav Klose on 16 goals, just one behind Messi.
While Lionel Messi is 38 and playing in the sixth - and likely last - World Cup of his career, Kylian Mbappé is 11 years younger and "only" in his third World Cup.
Argentina is already first in their group and will finish their group stage against Jordan, while France will face Norway for first place in their group.
