Les Blues manager Didier Deschamps became only the third ever to win the World Cup as a player and a coach. It was a match that featured anything you could have ever imagined, an own goal, a goalkeeper mistake, pitch invaders and a teenager playing to his potential.
The Croatians depended on the mastery of their talismanic midfielder Luka Modric to reach the final but were deprived of their attacking powers due to the brilliance of the French midfield. France also became the first team to score four goals in the final since Brazil did against Italy in 1970. In the end, it was destiny for France and heartbreak for Croatia. There could only be one winner and France deserved the win.
