French President Macron Consoles Kylian Mbappe After World Cup Defeat from Argentina
It was not a great night for you if were a French supporter on Sunday when the grand finale of the FIFA World Cup 2022 was being played in the Lusail Stadium on Qatari soil.
In case you are the President of France, who flew halfway through the globe along with the injured French players to watch the iconic final showdown between the giants, France and Argentina, in the hopes of seeing your nation emerge victorious, you probably had the worst night in a long time.
This is the tale of French President Emmanuel Macron, who was seen using a fan to beat the heat of the match in an all-air-conditioned stadium in Qatar.
France, the defending world champions, were nearly invisible throughout the first half of the match, only making a comeback in the last 15 minutes of the 90 total minutes played in a match, with aim from their star striker, Kylian Mbappe.
Kylian Mbappe was seen to be carrying the entire national team of France on his back, all alone with a record-breaking FIFA World Cup final hat-trick against Messi’s Argentina. Mbappe’s goal after the goal had kept the hopes and dreams of thousands of French supporters alive till the last moment of the game.
The 23-year-old gave a spectacular performance after he netted 4 goals against the Golden Glove-winning Argentine goalkeeper, Martinez, the 4th goal coming in the decisive penalty shootout, which France faced a humiliating defeat of 4-2 from Argentina.
A video has been going viral on social media after France’s utterly heart-breaking defeat, where the French President, Macron, is seen consoling a heart-broken, distraught, and emotional Kylian Mbappe, who, despite scoring on 4 occasions, ended on the losing side.
However, truth be told, Mbappe is 23-year-old and already has one World Cup, which he won in 2018; on the contrary, the football gods owed Lionel Messi, the greatest of all time, a World Cup trophy in what is probably his final FIFA World Cup.
