The 20 France players with the most goals+assists in the 21st century - Mbappe 11th

Last Sunday evening, Karim Benzema overtook Thierry Henry to become the Frenchman with the most goals scored in the 21st century.

The world-class striker netted a brace in Real Madrid‘s 3-0 win over Mallorca in La Liga, the 412th and 413th goals of his glittering professional career.

In fact, he’s probably in the best form he’s ever been in and that will likely result in him breaking another one of Henry’s records in due course.
