Deschamps was soaked in champagne three times that he took the stage to answer questions from the media. The French team, led by Paul Pogba, invaded the room and poured champagne on the coach as he was about to answer the first question. The act was magnificent for all who are waiting to hear from the man who became only the third person to win the trophy both as a player and a manager.

The joy of France knew no bounds and there was a huge smile on Deschamps' face. Pogba, Mbappe, Blaise Matuidi and the rest of the band then did a dance before it appeared to them that they were at a press conference. Pogba tried to clean the table but his efforts did not show much result. Then they left their coach to complete the task.

Deschamps said: "They are completely crazy and are swimming in happiness, I have a very young group, fourteen of them were discovering the World Cup, but the quality was there this group is that they have managed to have the right state of mind for such a tournament I repeat all the time: never give up, never give up anything.
