France and PSG striker, Kylian Mbappe has asserted that he is not at the 2022 World Cup to finish as the top scorer as many people assume.
According to Mbappe, his major goal right now is to lift the World Cup trophy for the second time with France.
The Paris Saint-Germain star made this known on Sunday after scoring twice as the defending champions saw off Poland in their last-16 clash on Sunday.
Mbappe now has five goals from four fixtures and is leading the race for the Golden Boot, ahead of Argentina captain Lionel Messi and Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo.

‘I came here to win this World Cup. I didn’t come here to win the Golden Ball or Golden Boot. If I win it of course I’m going to be happy but that’s not why I’m here. I’m here to win and I’m here to help the French national team.’
