Reigning FIFA World Cup runners-up France suffered defeat at the hands of the in-form Spanish side in the UEFA Nations League semifinals on Thursday. Despite scoring four goals on the night, Didier Deschamps and co. failed to stop the relentless attack of La Roja’s young brigade. As the men in blue lace their boots for a crucial third place clash<\/a> against Germany on Sunday, let us take a look at the top goal-scorers for Les Bleus in their highly decorated history.<\/p>

Two-time winners of the World Cup as well as the Euros, the men in blue and white will set their sights on the 2026 WC to attain the pinnacle of immortality again.<\/p>

As the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue gear up to find the back of the net over the weekend, who has aced the goal-scoring records for France over the years?<\/p>

Who is France’s Top Scorer in Football History?<\/h2>

The record goal-scorer for the French National Football Team is Olivier Giroud<\/em><\/strong>. The striker, who currently plays as a #9 for Major League Soccer side Los Angeles FC, has scored 57 goals for his country.<\/p>

Giroud’s career with the French setup spanned over a decade – between 2011 and 2024. He was a vital piece in the jigsaw puzzle, linking up with France’s elite midfield and full-backs to develop into a goal scoring machine. The 38-year-old earned 137 caps with France and averaged 0.42 goals per match.<\/p>

How Many Goals Has Kylian Mbappe Scored for France?<\/h2>

26-year-old Kylian Mbappe, who has emerged as the poster boy of Real Madrid and France, has scored 49 goals for his country. He is currently the third highest goal-scorer for Les Bleus, only behind Henry and Giroud.<\/p>

Mbappe has made a name for himself as a big game player. A supremely quick winger\/forward who is known for his dribbling and finishing, he scored in the 2018 and 2022 World Cup Finals. Additionally, he also guided France to the Nations League trophy in 2021 – getting crowned as the top scorer in the finals during this process. In 2025, Kylian Mbappe won the La Liga Pichichi Trophy with Los Blancos.<\/p>
