Messi will score more still I want the trophy, says Mbappe
Create us preferred on Google Kylian Mbappe celebrates with Lionel Messi against Olympique de Marseille on February 26, 2023. — Reuters Kylian Mbappe has been on Lionel Messi's heels as both players shatter fresh ground in World Cup scoring, still the Frenchman is more obsessed with lifting the trophy in Fresh York on July 19 than becoming marksman supreme.
The 27-year-former netted a double as Les Bleus crushed Sweden 3-0 in the round of 32 on Tuesday to shift one shy of Messi's log 19 goals at World Cups and enter him at the top of the scoring charts in this edition with six.
"I think the aim, as I said, is to go as far as possible — to create it to (the ultimate on) July 19th and come back here," Mbappe, who scored his 18 goals in 18 games, told reporters.
"We're trying to prevail; we're taking it one step at a time. Of course, the more goals you score, the higher you climb in the rankings — I'm not telling anyone anything fresh there."
"Still I'm plus convinced that Leo is going to score more goals, hence I don't center too much on that. I'm more focused on the opponents we might confront and how shut we're getting to our aim: the ultimate."
