Kylian Mbappe continues to collect historic achievements for fun, now becoming the youngest player this century to reach the 400-goal mark in his career.

Axar.az informs, citing Sports Illustrated, the 26-year-old forward scored a brace in France’s 4–0 victory over Ukraine to secure Les Bleus’ spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. But Mbappe’s second signified something much more than an exclamation point on his performance—it marked the 400th time he found the back of the net in his illustrious career.

No player in the 21st century has reached this milestone faster than the Real Madrid star. In fact, the only player in history to score 400 goals before turning 26 is Pele. The Brazilian legend, who many still consider as the greatest of all time, reached the landmark at 23 years old.

The comparisons between Pelé and Mbappe have been constantly made ever since the Frenchman became only the second teenager ever to score in a FIFA World Cup final in 2018, replicating what the Brazilian did in the 1958 final.

Mbappe’s quest to reach the 400th goal of his career was aided by a fantastic start to the 2025–26 season in which he’s scored 23 goals in 20 appearances for club and country.
