Mbappe becomes youngest to 300 goals, upstages Ronaldo and Messi; Thierry Henry cites 'room for improvement'
Hindustan TimesKylian Mbappé has scored 300 career goals faster than Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. France's forward #10 Kylian Mbappe celebrates after scoring the eleventh goal Mbappé achieved the feat over the weekend in a 14-0 rout of Gibraltar at the age of 24 years and 333 days. “What this kid is doing is really out of this world,” said Henry, who is now in charge of leading the new generation of France's players as coach of the Under-21 team. He is now just five goals behind Henry on France's all-time scoring list and 10 off teammate Olivier Giroud's national record total. When asked how many goals Mbappé could reach, Henry jokingly hinted at the 1,000 mark, then said “it's up for him to decide.” “He’s a guy who breathes soccer, who prepares himself well, who doesn’t do everything and anything, his professionalism and desire to play are always there,” Henry said.
