Thanks to his goal scored against Luxembourg, Kylian Mbappé moved closer to a symbolic mark.

One goal, two assists: Kylian Mbappé perfectly launched the preparation for the Euro on Wednesday against Luxembourg. And if thanks to his two passes, the Bondynois got closer to the mark of Antoine Griezmann, best passer in the history of the Blues, he could also quickly break another record.

Since the start of the season, the former Monegasque has scored 51 goals with 44 goals for Paris and seven for the French team. The 25-year-old striker is only three goals away from the record for goals scored by a French player. A record he has held since last season.

With 54 goals, he had dethroned Just Fontaine, author of 53 goals during the 1957-58 season and also did better than Philippe Gondet, author of 51 goals in 1965-66.
