Kylian Mbappé surpassed Lionel Messi's World Cup goal record during France's third-place match, a game widely considered inconsequential. The achievement has sparked debate over whether the milestone and a potential Golden Boot hold full legitimacy given the context of the fixture. Critics argue that records set in FIFA's third-place playoff, often seen as the tournament's least meaningful game, deserve significant qualification.
