Real Madrid Appoints José Mourinho as Head Coach for Three Seasons

France launched their 2026 World Cup campaign with a 3-1 victory over Senegal at MetLife Stadium.

Mbappé scored a brace, tying then surpassing Olivier Giroud's 57-goal record for Les Bleus with a 30-yard rocket in stoppage time, while also moving to 14 World Cup goals ahead of Messi and Pelé.

Bradley Barcola added a stylish first World Cup goal off the bench, as France overcame a cautious first half to dominate after the break.

Senegal grabbed a late consolation through Ibrahim Mbaye but couldn't overcome France's depth.
