Mbappé Ties Müller's World Cup Goal Record Amid Crypto Chaos

Kylian Mbappé has become just the third player in World Cup history to score 14 goals, joining Miroslav Klose at the top of the all-time list. The French forward surpassed Pelé and Lionel Messi with his two-goal performance against Argentina in the 2022 final.

Mbappé's achievement is even more impressive considering that he has scored four goals in World Cup finals, a feat only achieved by a handful of elite strikers. He also holds the record for most goals scored in a single tournament with eight goals across the 2022 event.

The news has sparked interest from the world of cryptocurrency, where Mbappé's partnership with Sorare, an Ethereum-based fantasy football NFT platform, saw a significant spike in sales following his announcement as an ambassador. In contrast, a fraudulent meme coin called MBAPPE was promoted on Mbappé's hacked social media account, briefly reaching a market cap of $460 million before collapsing.
