    France's array of superstars came out to shine as Antoine Griezmann, Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappe fired them to 2018 FIFA World Cup glory with an emphatic 4-2 win over Croatia.

    Following a tournament packed with thrills and drama, the final at Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium lived up to what preceded it from the moment Les Bleus hit the front through an 18th-minute own goal by Mario Mandzukic – a cruel role reversal for Croatia's extra-time hero in the semi-final win over England.

    Ante Dalic's side had started the stronger and levelled through a fine Ivan Perisic strike before the Inter player was harshly adjudged to have handled in the box, as VAR made its first impact upon a World Cup final. This moment became the 'pivotal turning point' in the final.
