Messi will score more goals but I want the trophy: Mbappe

[p]The 27-year-old ‌netted a double as Les Bleus crushed [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/sweden/OQyqbHWB/"]Sweden[/a] 3-0 ‌in the round of 32 on Tuesday to move one shy ‌of [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/messi-lionel/vgOOdZbd/"]Messi[/a]'s record 19 goals at World Cups and ‌join him on top of the scoring charts in this edition with six.[/p][p]"[b]I think the goal, as I said, is to go as ‌far as possible - to make it to[/b] (the ⁠final on) [b]July 19th and ‌come back here,[/b]" [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/mbappe-kylian/Wn6E2SED/"]Mbappe[/a], who scored his 18 goals in 18 ​games, told reporters.[/p][p]"We’re trying to win; we’re taking it one step at a time. Of course, the more ​goals you score, the higher you climb in the rankings - I’m not telling anyone anything new there.[/p][p]"[b]But I’m also ⁠convinced that Leo is ​going to score more goals, so I don’t focus too much on that. I’m more focused on the opponents we might face and how close we’re getting to our goal: the ‌final.[/b]"[/p][embed guid="ae9e83de-ac53-48c8-942b-b8ed7a858199" url="https://www.facebook.com/Flashscorecom/posts/pfbid028XsMVfvAirDmVRB4pGPpvjLJezGrkoU6jJWo58CdHya36xNDKejNfcruEQvVefURl" social-type="facebook" /][p]Messi's [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/argentina/f9OppQjp/"]Argentina[/a] face minnows [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/cape-verde/MocyWdm7/"]Cape Verde[/a] in the last 32 on Friday.
