  • Winner: Raphael Varane puts in a solid display

    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’s the Champion Moments 6-4 on our Clear Arabia World Cup countdown

    6. Harry McGuire got on the score sheet with his first England goal against Sweden in the quarter final with a thumping header. England advanced into the semis with a 2-0 final score.

    5. Domagoj Vida gave his Croatian side the lead in extra time against Russia. The game went to penalties after the hosts pulled one back in extra time. Croatia advanced into the semis 3-4 on penalties.
