Kylian Mbappe said he would swap his World Cup scoring record for a place in Sunday's final, after France's 6-4 defeat to England in the third-place play-off in Miami on Saturday.

The Real Madrid forward now has 10 goals at this World Cup and 22 across three tournaments, making him the all-time highest scorer at World Cups.

Lionel Messi, who has eight goals in the tournament and 21 overall in World Cups, could match or pass that tally when Argentina face Spain in Sunday's final in New York and New Jersey.

"Messi will score tomorrow, for sure," Mbappe said. "I just try to help my team score goals whenever possible."

"It's true that scoring World Cup goals helps you progress in certain areas. I'd rather not be the all-time top scorer and play tomorrow's match.

"That's good for my legacy and for when people stop seeing me as just one of those players. But today, that's not the first thing that comes to mind," he added.

England led 4-0 at half-time, prompting a furious outburst from Didier Deschamps in the dressing room, who stood in his final match as the France manager.

France then rallied to 4-3 in the second half, before eventually losing 6-4.

“There were two different halves… We managed to win the second half, but in the end, we didn't win the match,” Mbappe said.

The forward also said that despite the defeat, Deschamps legacy as a World Cup winning coach will remain unaffected.

“That's a great pity for the coach. We wanted to do something for him... this match will not tarnish Deschamps' legend.”
