Footbll daily | Football's greatest showman shows Mbappé and Haaland who's boss

Football Daily frames Mbappé, Haaland and Messi as the sport’s marquee showmen delivering record‑setting moments. Mbappé highlighted his quality in New Jersey with a decisive finish and a stoppage-time long-range goal to cap a 3-1 France victory over Senegal, boosting his international tally to 58. The performance positions him within reach of Miroslav Klose’s World Cup record of 16 goals, while Olivier Giroud congratulated him on the likely all‑time marks. Meanwhile, Haaland drew praise with a multi-goal display that included two goals in Norway’s 4-1 win over Iraq, reinforcing his status as a central figure for Norway. The piece also spotlights Lionel Messi, who delivered a World Cup hat-trick in a 3-0 win over Algeria and equaled Klose’s 16 World Cup goals, with Infantino attending in Kansas City as the 38-year-old became the first player to appear at six World Cups on his 200th international appearance.
