Without a doubt, this will be the first of many goals for France in FIFA World Cup games for Kylian Mbappé, but this one will have a special meaning for PSG's youngster.
After 34 minutes of France's game against Perú, Mbappé scored his first goal of the competition with a tap-in. What really stands out is that Mbappé has broken all records by becoming the youngest player ever to score a goal for Les Bleus in all major competitions. The previous record belonged to David Trezeguet.

In order to give you a bit more perspective (or make you feel a bit older), Kylian Mbappé wasn't even born when France won the 1998 title against Brazil.
