And Kylian Mbappe came with 51 goals last year, who scored both goals for the French national team on Saturday, in fifth place. With his second goal, his total in 2022 increased to 50, and this year he is the first to do so. And the FIFA wrote that the third place among the “fifty” belongs to Lewandowski, who reached this point three times (in his best year, in 2021, he scored 69 goals).
