  • Hat-trick: No stopping Harry Kane

    Brought to you by Clear Arabia

    France capped off a month of football fever as they defeated Croatia 4-2 to be crowned World Cup winners for the second time in the country’s history. The four weeks in Russia produced one of the best tournaments the game’s ever seen, with the introduction of VAR, a record number of penalties and huge upsets including Germany finishing bottom of group F. Didier Deschamps became only the third person ever to lift the World Cup as both a player and manager (joining Mario Zagallo, Franz Beckenbauer) as his France side brushed aside Croatia in a thrilling finale.

    Here, we look back at the 64 Champion Performances from every game of the 2018 World Cup.

    41. Philippe Coutinho opens the scoring in injury time to break Costa Rican hearts.

    40. Ahmed Musa notches a double as Nigeria get three points against Iceland.

    39. Xherdan Shaqiri scores a dramatic winner in stoppage time as Switzerland defeats Serbia 2 – 1.

    38. Romelu Lukaku stars as Belgium put five past plucky Tunisia. The big frontman scores twice.
