Real MadridScores in Inter contest
Mbappe scored one goal to go with four shots (four on target), one interception and one chance created in Tuesday's 2-1 victory against Inter Milan.
Analysis: Mbappe took advantage of a defensive miscue to score an easy one from inside the box, while Josep Martinez denied all his other efforts, including a pair of point-blank ones. He has fired at least four shots in all his five appearances, racking up 35 (22 on target), netting five goals and adding five chances created and three crosses (zero accurate).
Misses pk Friday
Mbappe recorded seven shots (four on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Friday's 1-0 loss against Betis.
Analysis: Mbappe missed a late penalty that would've earned Real Madrid a draw Friday, though he still produced four shots on target and five successful dribbles. He's now scored in two of his four appearances, totaling four goals along with 18 shots on target and 18 successful dribbles .
Scores again
Mbappe scored one goal to go with six shots (four on goal) in Sunday's 4-0 win over Malaga.
Analysis: Mbappe found the scoresheet again Sunday with a goal against Malaga, adding seven successful dribbles and four shots on target. He's already up to 14 shots on target, 13 successful dribbles, and four goals through the first three La Liga matches, an outstanding start to the season for the Frenchman.
First hattrick of season
Mbappe scored three goals to go with eight shots (seven on goal) and three chances created in Wednesday's 4-1 win against Real Sociedad.
Analysis: Mbappe bounced back in a big way, scoring his first three goals of the season against Real Sociedad on Wednesday after firing 10 shots without a breakthrough versus Espanyol. He added seven shots on target and three key passes, a fantastic early-season showing for the forward.
Comes up empty
Mbappe recorded 10 shots (three on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Espanyol.
Analysis: Mbappe was unlucky in the season opener against Espanyol, registering 10 shots, including three on target, but failing to find the net. He finished the 2025/26 campaign as the league's top scorer with 25 goals in 31 appearances and has already amassed 56 La Liga goals across his first two seasons with Real Madrid. The forward is once again expected to be among the league's most dangerous scoring threats.
Ready for new season
Mbappe is back in Madrid to prepare for the new season under new manager Jose Mourinho, according to the club.
Analysis: Mbappe finished last season with 25 goals and five assists in 31 LaLiga appearances, along with 15 goals in the Champions League, finishing as the top scorer in both competitions despite Real Madrid falling in the quarterfinals to Bayern Munich. He capped that off with a historic World Cup, winning the adidas Golden Boot with 10 goals as France's captain, becoming the tournament's all time leading scorer. His return to club training now shifts focus to preseason preparations as he begins a new chapter under Mourinho following the coaching changes of last season.
Wins World Cup Golden Boot again
Mbappe has won the adidas Golden Boot for the 2026 World Cup, finishing as the tournament's top scorer for a second consecutive edition after Qatar 2022, the player commented, according to FIFA. "When you score that many goals in the World Cup, it certainly takes you to a whole new level, but I would have preferred not to be the top scorer and to have played in the final."
Analysis: Mbappe finished the World Cup with 10 goals, becoming the all time leading scorer in tournament history, with braces against Senegal, Iraq, Sweden and England along with a penalty against Paraguay and the opener in the quarterfinal win over Morocco, though he was held scoreless in the semifinal loss to Spain. He also claimed the Bronze Ball for his overall performances, edging Lionel Messi, who finished with eight goals, for the Golden Boot. Mbappe closes out a decorated season having also finished as the top scorer in both La Liga and the Champions League, further cementing his status as one of the sport's premier attacking threats heading into the new club campaign with Real Madrid.
Involved in three goals Saturday
Mbappe scored two goals and assisted once from eight shots and two chances created in Saturday's 6-4 loss versus England.
Analysis: Mbappe bounced back from an unproductive first half to make his typical impact in the final 45 minutes, notching a couple of left-footed goals while setting up Bradley Barcola for France's second goal of the game. The Real Madrid striker also tied his best shooting mark of eight attempts, raising his tournament average to 5.1 shots per contest. Despite the negative outing in the semi-final round, it was an impressive World Cup run for Mbappe, who totaled 10 goals and four assists over eight matches played. He's now the World Cup all-time top scorer with 22 goals, although he could be reached with Lionel Messi sitting at 21 and yet to play in the final game.
Limited impact Tuesday
Mbappe recorded three shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 2-0 loss against Spain. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 86th minute.
Analysis: Mbappe failed to get past a tough Spain defense, succeeding in only one of his six dribble attempts during the game. Additionally, all of his three shots came from outside the box and barely threatened the opposing goal. This outcome represented the first time Mbappe was not directly involved in a goal over seven starts at the international tournament, with the striker previously standing out for his eight goals and three assists. He may still have a chance to increase his production if he appears in the third-place match.
Fully fit despite limited training
Mbappe didn't complete Monday's training session but "is at 100 percent" according to France national team coach Didier Deschamps, Fabrice Hawkins of RMC Sport reports.
Analysis: Mbappe has tried to avoid taking risks after ending the World Cup quarter-finals win over Morocco with a knock to the ankle. With that issue turning out to be a slight concern, the star attacker will aim to lead his country's front line in the penultimate match of the tournament against Spain, which will represent his toughest test so far. He has been one of the most outstanding players in the competition, scoring eight goals and providing three assists across six starts, and he's expected to retain high offensive potential in the decisive fixtures.
Brushes off injury concern
Mbappe has shaken off any concerns of a possible injury and appears to be fit for his team moving forward, he told reporters, per L'Equipe. "I'm doing well; I took a knock to the ankle, but I'm fine. JP was in better shape than I was to play the last fifteen minutes."
Analysis: Mbappe was taken off the field late into Thursday's win and appeared to be a concern with a foot injury after he was shown with ice on that particular spot. However, the forward has shaken off the concerns in post-match interviews, leaving the forward fit for the semifinals. He is now tied for the Golden Boot with eight goals and remains the most critical player to France's success, a player they cannot lose moving forward.
Exits in second half
Mbappe exited Thursday's quarterfinal match against Morocco in the second half with an apparent ankle injury, according to The Athletic. He scored a goal on four shots and created four chances before exiting the contest.
Analysis: Mbappe missed a penalty in the first half, but he bounced back and broke the deadlock for Les Bleus midway through the second half. However, he exited the contest shortly after France doubled their lead via Ousmane Dembele. The Real Madrid striker was seen lying on the grass before leaving the field, and although he walked off under his own power, he was later spotted with ice on his right ankle. It seems Mbappe, who has eight goals in the current World Cup, exited the game as a precaution, but his status is worth monitoring ahead of a potential semifinal matchup against either Belgium or Spain next Tuesday, July 14.
Converts penalty in win
Mbappe scored one goal to go with five shots (four on goal) and one corner in Saturday's 1-0 win against Paraguay.
Analysis: Mbappe notched the decisive goal from the penalty spot in the 70th minute and came close to increasing his tally a few more times, but he was barely denied by goalkeeper Orlando Gill during the World Cup round of 16 matchup. The forward slowed down in terms of direct contributions, as he failed to get involved in multiple goals for the first time across five appearances in the summer tournament. Still, he remains an elite fantasy option as the main offensive threat of one of the strongest sides so far in the competition. In terms of finishing, he's now averaging 3.4 shots on target per contest, ranking second among all World Cup players in that category.
Continues impressive World Cup run
Mbappe scored two goals to go with five shots (four on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and four chances created in Tuesday's 3-0 victory versus Sweden.
Analysis: Mbappe led France to the 2026 World Cup round of 16 with his fifth and sixth goals of the tournament, scoring on a great individual play inside the box during the 45th minute and a right-footed finish in the 74th against Sweden. The star player has continued to write his name in glory in the World Cup history, tying Lionel Messi's six goals in the current competition and sitting two behind the Argentinian at the top of the all-time ranking. He has been directly involved in two goals in each of the last four matches and should continue to get plenty of minutes as France's main central striker going forward.
Registers two assists
Mbappe assisted twice to go with four shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and four chances created in Friday's 4-1 win against Norway.
Analysis: Mbappe delivered two assists across his 87 minutes in Friday's 4-1 win over Norway, releasing Ousmane Dembele with two precise passes in the first half that the Ballon d'Or winner converted to make it 2-0 before Norway pulled one back, registering four shots (two on target), one cross and four chances created in a performance that showcased why France are considered favorites to win the tournament. With four goals and now two assists across three group games, Mbappe heads into the knockout rounds as one of the most productive players at the entire tournament, and France will rely on the combination between him and Ousmane Dembele as the most dangerous attacking partnership remaining in the competition.
Another brace Monday
Mbappe scored two goals to go with seven shots (three on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two corners in Monday's 3-0 victory over Iraq.
Analysis: Mbappe continued to impress in his second consecutive World Cup start, opening the score with a solid finish from outside the box in the 14th minute, and adding another goal from an easy chance generated by a defensive error during the 54th minute of the game. The star attacker improved on his shooting totals from his previous appearance, raising his tally to 12 shots (seven on target) across his two starts. In terms of scoring, he's now second behind Lionel Messi among all players in the tournament with four goals. The difficulty of fixtures will likely increase as upcoming rounds progress, but Mbappe has shown no signs of slowing down and should stay valuable as he leads the front line of one of the top squads in the competition.
Scores brace in opener
Mbappe scored two goals to go with four shots (four on goal) and one corner in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Senegal.
Analysis: Mbappe delivered a match-winning brace in Tuesday's 3-1 World Cup victory over Senegal, breaking the deadlock in the 66th minute off a feed from Michael Olise before putting the game on ice with a sensational strike deep into stoppage time. After a rough opening half in which he struggled to settle in, miscontrolled several balls and never found his usual rhythm, the French star flipped the script after the break with his explosive pace and relentless movement. The two goals moved him past Olivier Giroud as France's all-time leading scorer with 58 goals in 99 caps, while his World Cup tally now stands at 14 across three tournaments, surpassing Just Fontaine's 13 from a single edition, and he'll look to keep rolling in the next group match as he chases both Miroslav Klose and Lionel Messi, who scored a hat-trick against Algeria, with both legends sitting on 16 World Cup goals.
Chasing World Cup glory
Mbappe has been named in France's World Cup squad and heads into the tournament as arguably the best finisher in the world after a difficult season in which he scored 42 goals across all competitions for Real Madrid.
Analysis: Mbappe closed out a remarkable but demanding campaign by cementing himself as one of the premier finishers on the planet alongside Harry Kane, blending elite pace, clinical finishing, creativity, and leadership into a complete attacking force that tormented defenses all season long. He will be the central piece of France's entire attacking blueprint, with his game-breaking ability to flip matches on its head making him the most dangerous player in the tournament. With the World Cup set across North America, Mbappe arrives hungry to secure a second world title and further lock in his case as one of the greatest to ever do it. The only real noise around him comes off the pitch, where he has faced criticism in recent months, but he has consistently been a different player on the World Cup stage, and there is little doubt he will show up at his highest level once kickoff hits, whether deployed as a number nine or off the left wing.
Scores goal in season finale
Mbappe scored one goal to go with five shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 4-2 victory against Athletic.
Analysis: Mbappe restored Real Madrid's two-goal cushion in the 51st minute, collecting Alvaro Carreras' pass on the left edge of the box before unleashing a driven finish into the far corner for his 25th La Liga goal of the season. He finishes the campaign as La Liga's top scorer with 25 league goals and 40 goals in all competitions across 42 appearances (39 starts), a massive output despite a chaotic first season at the Bernabeu shaped by injuries and off-field setbacks. Mbappe now shifts focus to leading France's attack at the 2026 World Cup, where he remains their clear-cut primary goal threat heading into the tournament.
Substitute option Thursday
Mbappe (hamstring) is on the bench for Thursday's match against Oviedo.
Analysis: Mbappe is back following a two-game absence, although his workload may be managed carefully to ensure he doesn't suffer a relapse, with the World Cup less than a month away. While Real Madrid have lost their title hopes, the forward is still in the race against Vedat Muriqi for the league scoring leadership, and he'll likely find a few opportunities to increase his current count of 24 goals in 28 games. Gonzalo Garcia will likely see his involvement reduced as soon as Mbappe is back on the field.
