Les Bleus on top of the world!
World Cup winners for the second time in their history, Les Bleus have united France in its passion for the beautiful game.
Twenty years after Les Bleus' first World Cup win, Didier Deschamps' squad, which includes three Paris Saint-Germain players, ensured a second gold star will be stitched onto their shirts from now on after beating Croatia 4-2 in Moscow on Sunday.
After an almost faultless run to the final, the team sent their 60 million compatriots wild with a convincing victory in the Luzhniki Stadium.
One of the main symbols of this victorious generation, the Parisian Kylian Mbappé, scored in the final, leaving one last mark on a tournament that has seen him take yet another step up.
After Rai in 1994 and Ronaldinho in 2002 with Brazil, it is with great pride we see Alphonse Areola, Presnel Kimpembe and Mbappé join the exclusive group of Paris Saint-Germain World Cup winners!
