HISTORY:

France triumphant in ravishing Russia. From start to finish, the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia was exhilarating. Numerous highlights from the 21st edition of the world championships will live on in the collective memory of those who cherish the beautiful game. As millions of people gathered to take in what was truly a festival of football, there were smiles and jubilation everywhere from Kaliningrad to Ekaterinburg, Saint Petersburg to Sochi. The first and only scoreless draw at Russia 2018 occurred after 36 games, which is the longest run for a single edition in history. There were plenty of goals. In one of the most exciting World Cup finals in history, France defeated Croatia 4-2 to win the title for the second time in history and the first time since they served as hosts in 1998.

Kylian Mbappe, who at that time was 19 years old, joined Pele, who scored in the 1958 World Cup Final as a 17-year-old, becoming the second youngster in history to do so. The midfielder Paul Pogba and the striker Antoine Griezmann both contributed significantly with their goals and efforts in enabling Les Bleus win the global championship once more.
