    Didier Deschamps has become the third man to lift the football World Cup as a player and a manager


    France's 1998 World Cup-winning captain has guided the French to their second title in Russia to join Germany's Franz Beckenbauer and Brazil's Mario Zagallo in the exclusive club.

    France has beaten Croatia 4-2 in the final in Moscow, after benefiting from a penalty and an own goal to lead 2-1 at halftime.

    Midfielder Paul Pogba then scored France's third 14 minutes into the second half.



    French forward Kylian Mbappe has been named the best young player in Russia.

    He's become the first teenager since Pele to score in a final, while Croatian midfielder Luka Modric won the golden ball as the player of the tournament.
