For the second time in history, France are World Cup Champions!
A post shared by TSN (@tsn_official) on
The French squad defeated Croatia 4-2 to wrap up the 2018 tournament in Russia.
19-year-old French forward Kylian Mbappe became just the second teenager to ever score in a World Cup final; he was born just months after France took home the 1998 World Cup. Paul Pogba and Antoine Greizmann also tallied for French squad.
The game had its theatrics, though. A questionable hand ball call that resulted in a penalty after VAR determined a Croatian did in fact touch the ball inside the box after a corner.
Former FIFA ref @HowardMWebb on VAR penalty call: "It wasn't a good use of the system." WATCH: https://t.co/ilfF18Pdbt#WorldCup pic.twitter.com/tuoYaa0avA
