The Real Madrid superstar notched his team's first goal against Senegal at the MetLife Stadium, breaking the deadlock in the 66th minute of a tough contest from a superb Michael Olise pass.After Bradley Barcola got France's second, and Ibrahim Mbaye pulled one back, Mbappe smashed in his second and his team's third goal in injury time to secure the points in the Group I encounter.It was the perfect start to the World Cup for the side seen by many as the favourites, and the brace allowed Mbappe to become his country's all-time top scorer.He began the day one goal behind Olivier Giroud, his teammate in France's victorious 2018 World Cup campaign, but is now one ahead of the former Arsenal striker on 58 goals from 99 caps."I am really pleased and very happy to make a little more history for my country," Mbappe said."It is something I always wanted to do, although we know why we are here, so I think I will have the time to think about all these things once I stop playing."He added: "We want to keep writing the biggest page in the history of the French national team. We know the road is very long, but we are ready."Two behind KloseFrance have reached four finals in the last seven editions of the World Cup, including in each of the last two.Winners in 2018, they lost the 2022 final on penalties to Argentina after an epic contest in Doha in which Mbappe scored a hat-trick.Now they are dreaming of winning a third World Cup, in what is the final tournament in charge for coach Didier Deschamps as he prepares to step down after 14 years at the helm.Deschamps launched Mbappe's international career as an 18-year-old in 2017, and oversaw his explosion onto the world stage at the following year's tournament in Russia.
