Since bursting onto the scene as a teenager, Kylian Mbappe has been one of the world’s best players.

Shining in the World Cup and tormenting opponents throughout prolific campaigns in Ligue 1 odds, the Frenchman is on course for an all-time great career in the post-Messi era.

The raw speed is eye-catching. Of course, Mbappe is much more than a knock-and-run tearaway.

He’s an exceptional technician, a talented dribbler and one of the coldest finishers of the 21st century. Anyone who has backed Monaco or PSG in Champions League betting will have witnessed his all-round brilliance.

Let’s run through the numbers Mbappe has posted in his decorated career to date… 

How Many Career Goals Does Kylian Mbappe Have?

Kylian Mbappe has scored a total of 284 goals in his career, 244 of which have been at club level. 
Arguably the fastest player in world football, Mbappe’s nearly 300 career goals have had immense variety from breath-taking counter-attacks to mazy solo efforts against deep defences. 
Scoring 28 times in 2016-17 for Monaco, Mbappe established himself as not only one of the best young players in the world, but among the elite forwards on the planet. He has not taken a step back since then, stringing together a run of top scorer titles in Ligue 1 and starring for France at a pair of World Cups. 
He has already scored 40 goals while lighting up Champions League predictions, which is more than Samuel Eto’o, Wayne Rooney and Edinson Cavani. 

How Many Goals Has Mbappe Scored For France?

Kylian Mbappe has scored 40 goals for France in 70 appearances. He has netted two hat tricks for Les Bleus, scoring four against Kazakhstan in 2021 and three against Argentina in the spectacular 2022 World Cup final. 
His 12 goals in World Cup play are sixth-most all-time – Miroslav Klose’s record is surely in sight if the Frenchman remains fit. Plus, he’s tied with Ronaldo for the most knockout goals in World Cups.

Kylian Mbappe Goal Celebrations

There’s an entire catalogue of Mbappe goal celebrations. His exaggerated mock crying has been popular with FIFA players for years, and he unveiled a new celebration with Achraf Hakimi in April of 2021. 
Most fans will associate Mbappe with his cross-armed celebration, however. Jogging towards the stand, he jumps to a stop and folds his arms while staring at the crowd. On occasion, this has been mixed with a knee slide. 
The Frenchman explained that this celebration was initially copied from his brother while playing FIFA.
"He scored a goal and celebrated by crossing his arms. Five minutes later, he stopped and said ‘Kylian, you could do that in a match.’ So I did it.
"So it happened in Dortmund and I did it. He was happy. I told him: ‘Now I’ve stolen it, it’s mine!’”
The folded arms are likely here to stay, but don’t be surprised if Mbappe mixes it up a bit over the years on his way to winning multiple Ballons d’Or
