It has survived two full tournaments. Nobody has come close.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mbapp\u00e9, at 27, already has 12. He scored four in 2018 and eight in 2022 &#8211; a rate of production at World Cups that no player in the modern era can match. Four more goals this summer and he is tied with Klose. Five and the record is his and it may stand for another decade. Given that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/global\/blog\/france-1-2-ivory-coast-goals-highlights-and-what-it-means-for-fifa-world-cup-2026\/\">France<\/a> is expected to go deep and given what Mbapp\u00e9 does when the pressure is highest, the question is not really whether he can do it. The question is when.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Weight_of_the_Armband\"><\/span><b>The Weight of the Armband<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is Mbapp\u00e9&#8217;s first World Cup as the official captain of France. That distinction matters. In 2018 he was a teenager riding the wave. In 2022 he was the superstar, but the armband belonged to others. Now it is his responsibility, the press conferences, the moments when the dressing room needs someone to speak.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beside him on the touchline for the final time is Didier Deschamps, the coach who won the World Cup in 2018 and reached the final in 2022. Deschamps has confirmed this will be his last tournament in charge. He leaves behind a squad that may be the most talented France has ever assembled. The pressure on Mbapp\u00e9 is not just to perform but also to deliver the ending his coach deserves.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Not_the_Only_Weapon_Anymore\"><\/span><b>Not the Only Weapon Anymore<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Previous French sides were sometimes guilty of leaning too heavily on Mbapp\u00e9, burdening him with the responsibility of carrying the attack alone. That problem has evaporated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 &#8211; the reigning Ballon d&#8217;Or winner &#8211; arrives at the peak of his powers, a winger who can take matches apart on his own. Michael Olise, whose ascent over the past two seasons has been relentless, offers a completely different profile of threat. Desire Doue, Rayan Cherki and Maghnes Akliouche are among the others pushing for minutes. Mbapp\u00e9 now is part of a team which can maintain the possession and create some chances on its own. That gives him the chance to move into space without being tracked by an entire defence and that is the most frightening version of him there is.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sharpened_by_Spain\"><\/span><b>Sharpened by Spain<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the first time in his international career, Mbapp\u00e9 arrives at a World Cup having played his club football outside France. Twenty-five La Liga goals &#8211; a surge in his form in\u00a0 the second half of the season that left defences across <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/global\/blog\/spain-held-by-iraq-fifa-world-cup-2026-warm-up\/\">Spain<\/a> looking ordinary. He is physically at the peak of his powers, playing in the best league in the world and coming into this tournament with the kind of confidence that only comes from scoring at that level week after week.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Unfinished_Business\"><\/span><b>The Unfinished Business<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He scored a hat-trick in the 2022 final and still watched Messi lift the trophy. Nothing in football produces hunger quite like that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mbapp\u00e9 has been clear in interviews since Lusail that the pain of that night has not faded. It sits with him. It motivates him. In 2026, with Messi also present as Argentina attempts to defend their title, the two great players of this era are on a collision course again. Mbapp\u00e9 will not settle for runner-up this time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The throne of world football is still contested.
