Special details on Mbappe's jersey.
The Real Madrid star entered the tournament as the 2018 World Cup champion and the top scorer of the 2022 World Cup. His eight goals in Qatar earned him the FIFA "Golden Boot" badge, a symbol reserved for players who have previously won the World Cup Golden Boot and are still participating in the current final tournament.
A special badge appeared on Mbappe's kit during the 3-1 victory against Senegal. However, the French striker wasn't the only one to enjoy this privilege.
At this year's World Cup, two other players are eligible to wear the "Golden Boot" badge: Harry Kane of England (Top scorer of the 2018 World Cup) and James Rodriguez of Colombia (Top scorer of the 2014 World Cup).
Mbappe also began his quest for individual titles with a spectacular performance against Senegal. The 27-year-old striker scored a brace, including a stunning long-range goal, playing a major role in "Les Bleus" winning 3-1 against Senegal.
These two goals also marked memorable milestones in his international career. He officially surpassed Olivier Giroud to become the greatest goalscorer in the history of the French national team with 58 goals.
In addition, Mbappe's total number of goals in World Cups has risen to 14, just two goals short of the record of 16 goals held by German legend Miroslav Klose.
World Cup history has never seen a player successfully defend the Golden Boot title. With his current explosive form, Mbappe has the opportunity to become the first to do so.
