Giroud took 131 games to rack up his tally. Mbappe is one goal off his mark after 96 appearances.

Mbappe's first strike for France was notched up on 31 August 2017 during his fifth cap for his country.

It was the final cut in a 4-0 laceration of the Netherlands in a qualifier for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
