The news media was filled with various speculative reports about Neymar's rivalry with Mbappe, creating a buzz during the season. However, it seems that these reports have little impact on Kylian Mbappe's performance. In the Euro knockout stage, France defeated Greece solely based on Mbappe's goal. Although his goal was scored in a theatrical manner, it broke a 64-year-old record for France. The French star took a penalty kick in the 54th minute, deflecting the ball into Greece's goal. The referee awarded a penalty kick again, and Mbappe had no trouble converting it in the second attempt.

Mbappe's penalty goal in the 55th minute also shattered a 64-year-old record for France. He has surpassed Just Fontaine, who held the record for the highest number of goals in a season for both club and national team in a single season. With this goal, Mbappe has a total of 54 goals in this season for PSG and France. Out of these, 41 goals were scored for PSG, with 29 goals in the French league, 7 in the Champions League, and 5 in other competitions. He has scored 13 goals for France this season.

Fontaine had scored 53 goals in the 1957-58 season, including 39 goals for the league, 14 for the national team, and 1 in the French jersey during the 1958 Sweden World Cup. This record still stands as the most goals in a single World Cup. In February of this year, Fontaine bid farewell to the world, leaving behind a legacy of scoring 30 goals in 21 matches for France.
