Kylian Mbappé may have captured the headlines with his stunning strike against Iraq, but another French star, Michael Olise, also made a strong impression for Les Bleus.

Olise, who provided his second assist in as many FIFA World Cup matches, continues to shine early in his international career with the French national team.

According to data from StatsduFoot, the Bayern Munich winger has now become the only player in the 21st century, alongside Kylian Mbappé, to be directly involved in 11 goals in his first 19 appearances for France.

Even more remarkably, both players share identical statistics over that span — 7 goals and 4 assists each.

All that remains now for Olise is to find the back of the net in a World Cup match, which would truly mark the beginning of his scoring journey on the biggest stage.
