CNN —Kylian Mbappé scored his 54th goal of the season for club and country in France’s 1-0 win over Greece in Euro 2024 qualifying, setting a new French goalscoring record.
The previous record was 53 goals in a single season set by the late striker Just Fontaine during the 1957-58 campaign.
Mbappé scored the winning goal from the penalty spot 10 minutes into the second half after Antoine Griezmann was fouled by Konstantinos Mavropanos, maintaining France’s perfect qualifying record with four wins from four matches.
“The only regret I have is to not be able to play safe because we had chances to score the second goal,” France head coach Didier Deschamps told uefa.com.
France, yet to concede a goal in qualifying, continues its campaign against the Republic of Ireland at the Parc des Princes in September.
