3 - France's fairytale journey
France pulled off one of their best tournament forms ever to enter the finals of the FIFA World Cup 2018 and then win it against the relative underdogs Croatia. Surpassing teams like Argentina, Uruguay, and Belgium, they proved they were by no means the team to be taken lightly.
Kylian Mbappe, the 19-year striker from France, won the FIFA Young Player of the Tournament, thanks to his sensational goal-scoring abilities. He first announced himself in the Round of 16 matches against Argentina where he netted two brilliant goals.
Top clubs are now vying for his signature and the deal is likely to happen soon, going by the transfer rumors at the moment. Antoine Griezmann had also saved his best for the Cup and scored three goals including a penalty in the final.
