He previously shared the record with Antoine Griezmann; he is now its sole holder.
By providing the decisive pass to Rayan Cherki, who scored his first goal for Les Bleus in his first cap, Kylian Mbappe has taken over as France’s all-time leading assist provider. The 26-year-old now has 31 assists in 87 caps for France. A statistic made all the more impressive by the fact that his predecessor needed no fewer than 115 appearances to set the former record.
A fine reward for the Real Madrid player, for whom the past year in the French colours has not been the easiest.
After making his debut against Luxembourg on March 25, 2017, Mbappe delivered his first assist less than three months later, against England. Eight years on, he has added 30 to his tally, coupled with 48 goals and a coveted World Cup.
