The opening week of the World Cup was a spectacle of surprises, record-breaking attendance, and exceptional performances by football's elite. The excitement peaked on day six when three of the sport's biggest stars showcased their skills on the global stage, each making a significant impact in their respective games.

Among the highlights was France's captain, Kylian Mbappe, who dramatically started his World Cup journey. In a powerful display against Senegal, Mbappe's second-half brace secured a 3-1 victory for Les Bleus. These goals were not just crucial for the match but also elevated Mbappe to the top of France's all-time leading scorers list. With 58 international goals in 99 appearances, he surpassed his former teammate Olivier Giroud. Notably, Mbappe's cumulative 14 World Cup goals tie him with the legendary Gerd Muller on the tournament's all-time list, underscoring his status as a World Cup specialist.
