You already know everything about it, the French national team won the World Cup just played in Russia defeating Croatia 4-2 in the final match. Between Pogba who dabbed with Prime Minister Macron in the post-match, the delirium that took place on the Champs-Élysées throughout the night, the first page of L'Equipe and the acknowledgement of Kylian Mbappé as a symbol of a generation of young phenomena, we decided to let the numbers speak to analyze and explain this great success.
