Theory Briefing
- Mbappé and Dembélé's combined 13 goals at the 2026 World Cup equals the record set by Portugal's Ronaldo and Brazil's Rivaldo at a previous tournament.
- No two players from the same team had matched that two-decade-old haul until France's current duo did it in 2026.
- The feat highlights how France's attack is concentrating firepower in just two players rather than spreading goals across the squad.
