Sunday in Moscow, Emmanuel Macron became the second president of the Republic to know a world title of the French football team, after Jacques Chirac in 1998. There is no secret of his pbadion for football, formidable communication tool, and had already attended the semifinal against Belgium early last week.

"A competition is successful when it is won," had warned Emmanuel Macron before the World Cup. "I only asked them one thing by going to Clairefontaine, it was the second star," he told RMC.

"I am very happy for France"

"I I am very happy for France, very proud, and I am very proud of them and the Croatian team who made a very good match, "he continued after exulting in the presidential box. Brigitte Macron and Sports Minister Laura Flessel also went out of their dance to the victory of the Blues.

The emir of Qatar has also given way to the wife of the French president, says The Huffington Post. Sitting in the front row as organizer of the next World Cup, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani has left his place to Brigitte Macron, placed in the last row, so that the spouses can follow the match side by side. At the UN last September, the first lady refused to sit behind her husband and preferred to settle in the French delegation.

It must be said that the Croatian president, who attended the match alongside the French head of state and his wife, did not shun the final despite the defeat of his team. Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic, dressed in the Croatian national jersey, hugged Emmanuel Macron at the final whistle and went to congratulate the Blues on the field, while comforting his family on the way

After the scenes of cheering on the field, congratulated all players and embraced the Cup, the French president went to the locker room of the Blues, always accompanied by the Croatian head of state.
