Dozens of buses parked on the runway of the Pavilion of Honor at Charles de Gaulle Airport were waiting for the players, technical and administrative workers to take them to the Place de la Concorde in Paris, where they would be greeted by many fans. Kylian Mbappe, the star of the team with a pale face.
The French national team lost the final match against the Argentine national team 4-2 on penalties after the end of the original and extra time with a 3-3 draw in a crazy and enthusiastic match.
Argentina’s goals were scored by Lionel Messi (23 from a penalty kick and 108) and Angel Di Maria (36), while Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick for France (80 and 118 from two penalties and 81), raising his tally to eight goals as the top scorer.
