IT'S OVER! FRANCE IS WORLD CHAMPION FOR THE SECOND TIME IN ITS HISTORY!!!!

[90'+4]

[90'+2]

Yellow for Vrsaljko who stops a rush from Griezmann after a good recovery from Tolisso.

[90']

Five minutes of added time! It's going to be long, but it's going to be good!

[88']

France-Croatia: follow the exceptional post-match on BFMTV, BFM Sport and RMC!

France-Croatia, it's almost over on the pitch. But it continues on TV on BFMTV and BFM Sport, as well as on the radio on RMC, with 20 special correspondents in Russia and the best Dream Team Foot: Christophe Dugarry, Frank Leboeuf, Emmanuel Petit, Eric Di Meco, Jérôme Rothen, Jean-Michel Larqué, Rolland Courbis, Lionel Charbonnier, Ali Benarbia, Pierre Ducrocq, Willy Sagnol, Laure Lepailleur and Manuel Amoros.

To watch BFMTV:

https://www.bfmtv.com/mediaplayer/live-video/

[87']

Fekir is so used to tormenting Subasic in Ligue 1 that he tries a long shot from a very tight angle. This time, it's captured by the Croatian goalkeeper.

[84']

Lloris calmly catches a distant free kick fired directly into his gloves. Pogba stays on the ground and gains a few seconds. It will be ok...

[82']

Another change on each side: Fekir replaces Giroud and Pjaca replaces Strinic.

[79']

Rakitic kicks past Lloris' goal. We are still on the verge of cardiac arrest, but the passage of time is totally in favor of the Blues.

[77']

It is already the second most prolific final in history, tied with those of 1930, 1938 and 1966 (4-2 each time). Only Brazil-Sweden in 1958 did better (5-2). Come on, let's put one back so that the Mbappé / Pelé comparisons resume.

[76']

Vrsaljko tries a long shot that he completely misses. Since we are in apnea on each Croatian center, we prefer that.

[73']

It's time for tactical changes before a last quarter of an hour which promises to be stressful. Tolisso replaces Matuidi. A few minutes ago, Rebic gave way to Kramaric.

[69']

Lloris misses his dribble on Mandzukic, who touches the ball with his foot and sends it into the empty net. We hope that this will not revive Croats who had taken heavy blows on the carafe and seemed resigned...

[69']

GOAL!!!

OH THE LLORIS MEATBALL... NOT NOW...

[65']

Incredible low potato from Mbappé, which leaves Subasic helpless when he was 25 meters from goal! Three goals ahead 25 minutes from the end, it seems bent!

[65']

GOAL!!!

MBAPPÉ IS PHENOMENAL!!!!!! 4-1 FOR THE BLUE WHO WILL BE WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!

[61']

And the Blues are still setting fire to the Croatian area. Giroud tries a return after a badly cleared ball, it seems to happen to Griezmann at the far post but a Croat saves in extremis. Come on, we've already taken the break but we still want more!

[59']

Pogba started the action with a 50-yard laser pass on the fly to launch Mbappé, who crosses back. Griezmann has his back to goal and slips the ball to Pogba at the entrance to the area. First shot blocked, but the second, from the left, deceives Subasic. 3-1 and a big step towards the title of world champion!

[59']

GOAL!!!

POGBAAAAAA! FRANCE TAKES THE BREAK !!!!!!

[57']

The blue goals for those who haven't seen them yet:

France thanks Mandzukic, first goalscorer in history in World Cup final

Griezmann converts a penalty after VAR and does better than Zidane and Henry

[55']

First change: Kanté, already warned and for once in physical difficulty, is replaced by Nzonzi.

[53']

The game resumes after a small invasion of the field.

[52']

Mbappé reminds everyone not to give him too much space! Lightning acceleration from Mbappé on a millimeter pass from Pogba. He bypasses Vida and hits from a tight angle, but it's pushed back by Subasic. This will perhaps curb the Croatian ardor!

[50']

The Croats are once again very strong, Umtiti and Lloris are forced to intervene as a last resort in two plays where the rest of the defense seemed overwhelmed.

[48']

EXCEPTIONAL STOP BY LLORIS!

Rakitic breaks through and passes for Rebic, who lights up hard under the bar. But Lloris deploys perfectly and takes the ball out with his fingertips. Phenomenal!

[47']

The first strike of the second period is French: Giroud controls and puts back for Griezmann, who tries his luck from distance. In the arms of Subasic, but if that means that France will be more comfortable in the second period, we sign!

[46']

Here we go again with the same 22 actors!

It could be important for the future: the Blues have 2 warnings (Kanté and Hernandez) when the Croats have none (yet it's kif-kif at the level of faults, 8 to 7). The match is in any case tense, with a lot of things being played out from set pieces.

It's the break on this score of 2-1 for the Blues!

Not the best French half of the tournament, by far, but we had the bit of luck we needed: Mandzukic opened the scoring... against his side, before Perisic equalized and Griezmann does not allow France to go back in front, on a penalty which will be discussed in the coming days and whistled after recourse to the VAR.

[45'+2]

Umtiti returned to the pitch.

[45'+1]

The Blues therefore defend at 10 on the next corner, taken by Vida. The ball misses, but the break will be welcome.

[45']

Umtiti remains on the ground after Lovren landed on him from a corner. Kimpembe leaves to warm up...

[43']

Pogba sacrifices himself to repel a volley from Lovren following a missed header from Pavard, the Frenchman in the most difficulty in this first period.

[40']

Only downside to this goal: Griezmann had his Fortnite celebration.

[38']

Griezmann waits for Subasic to leave and takes him on the wrong foot by shooting to his left (that of the shooter). 2-1 for France after long minutes of suspense, for the VAR and to shoot!

[38']

GOAL!!!

GRIZOU DOES NOT TREMBLE!!!!!

[37']

PENALTYYYYYY FOR THE BLUES! The referee has made his choice and the Blues will have the opportunity to come back in front. Long live video, long live the Republic and long live France!

[35']

The referee will see the VAR! French corner. Matuidi is too short to touch the ball at the near post, but Perisic deflects it with his hand. It's not totally intentional, but there is a gesture of the arm that folds down enormously... What suspense!

[33']

The Croatians are riding the euphoria of the equaliser, but paradoxically it also opens up some space and could backfire.

[28']

On the free kick, the Blues are systematically one time behind in the duels. After a little pinball in the area, the ball arrives at Perisic at the entrance to it, who feints and shoots from the left. It's powerful and Lloris can't do anything. 1-1!

[28']

GOAL!!!

RAAAAH! PERISIC'S (SUBLIME) EQUALIZATION!

[27']

The first card of the match is for Kanté, after an avoidable foul on Mandzukic.

[24']

Lloris is not afraid and will repel a free kick by imposing himself physically in the scrum. Pogba loses the ball by suffering a small non-whistled foul, and Croatian volley in stride, largely wide there too.

[23']

Finally spaces. Pogba manages to launch Griezmann and Mbappé, who misunderstand each other and stumble on Vida.

[21']

First action in front of Lloris' goal since the French opener. Vida is found on an indirect free kick, but his header misses wide.

[18']

Free kick generously whistled for the Blues. Griezmann takes charge of hitting him in front of the goal. It's deflected by the tip of Mandzukic's skull and ends up in Subasic's skylight. Against his side but who cares, it's 1-0 for the Blues!

[18']

GOAL!!!

YES!!!!!! THE BLUES OPEN THE SCORE!!!!!

[17']

Mbappé may have finally freed himself and managed to eliminate on his right side. His center set back at ground level is hardly repelled by the Croatian defense.

[16']

Perisic remains on the ground for a few seconds after an involuntary contact with Hernandez, but gets up.

[15']

It was hot after a little misunderstanding between Pavard and Varane. Perisic starts on the left side, but his cross is denied by Umtiti.

[11']

Long ball to Perisic who lobbed Varane, but the winger missed his air control.

[10']

The Blues do not have lots of time when they have the ball at their feet, like Kanté immediately pressed and who loses the ball.

[9']

Corner out through Giroud's head, in front of Lloris' fists.

[8']

A little late at the start, Mbappé catches up and against the center of Strinic. First corner.

[7']

Kante's high foot on Modric. At the same time, he is one of the only players on whom Kanté can stand tall.

[5']

Varane intervenes with a header in front of Mandzukic on a cross. The Croats have control of the first minutes.

[3']

Mbappé rushes a little to play a touch, loss of ball and Perisic arrives launched at the entrance to the area, but Varane defends perfectly upright.

[2']

First foul of the game. Umtiti tries a hook in the last defender position and is hooked by the attacker. My heart is already close to letting go.

[1']

Here we go! Kick off given by the Croats in their checkered jersey. GO BLUES!

[4:59 p.m.]

We will also recall the compositions, for those who were in a cave or at the barbecue.

France: Lloris - Pavard, Varane, Umtiti, Hernandez - Pogba, Kanté - Mbappé, Griezmann, Matuidi - Giroud.

Croatia: Subasic - Vrsaljko, Lovren, Vida, Strinic - Modric, Brozovic, Rakitic - Rebic, Mandzukic, Perisic.

[4:57 p.m.]

Alleeeeeeeeez, we don't care about comps and toss, we can't wait any longer!

[4:56 p.m.]

And now it's Lijepa naša domovino's turn (I copied and pasted).

[4:54 p.m.]

La Marseillaise is the first national anthem to resonate in the Louzhniki stadium!

[4:53 p.m.]

The 22 actors and the refereeing quartet enter the pitch! Go Blues!

[4:53 p.m.]

Tense faces and little glances between the two teams in the hallway...

[4:51 p.m.]

[4:50 p.m.]

Lahm brings and opens the suitcase containing the trophy. She is there, at the edge of the field, at the exit of the tunnel.

[4:48 p.m.]

The players arrive in the hallway leading to the pitch. We are almost there at this third World Cup final in the history of the Blues!

[4:43 p.m.]

Ronaldinho plays the djembe under the eyes of a traditional Russian dancer and mascot Zabivaka. Come on, more than a quarter of an hour to wait!

[4:38 p.m.]

Will Smith hits the pitch! (and so I find out that he is part of the official World Cup anthem)

[4:36 p.m.]

Playback for official World Cup song, less memorable than Waka Waka.

[4:34 p.m.]

Guys jump in place while banging cymbals.

[4:32 p.m.]

People dressed as flags of the 32 participating nations did a choreography and other people wearing LED signs got together and are now broadcasting a compilation of World Cup goals.

[4:32 p.m.]

A little kitsch moment, it's time for the closing ceremony.

[4:21 p.m.]

Degenkolb won the stage, but Van Avermaet remains in the yellow jersey! (no idea who these people are but you have to pass the time, I have the impression that the clock is no longer advancing here)

[4:08 p.m.]

Mbappé continues to put his name in the record books: the Frenchman will become the 3rd youngest player to play in a World Cup final, behind Pelé and Giuseppe Bergomi. A small goal to celebrate?

[3:55 p.m.]

The steward made the F with the balloons, Griezmann must remember to touch Rami's mustache now!

[3:52 p.m.]

The atmosphere is already overheated everywhere in France, perhaps even more so than for the Euro 2016 final. Feel free to share this on the hashtag #rmclive

[15:38]

A little quiz to wait? Personally, I have the impression that this day started 6 months ago.

Quiz >>> Did you follow the course of the Blues at the World Cup?

[15:29]

No surprises in the comps!

We all know the standard team of the Blues now, and it is obviously renewed. On the Croatian side, the uncertainty concerned the presence or not of Perisic, who is finally able to hold his place.

France: Lloris - Pavard, Varane, Umtiti, Hernandez - Pogba, Kanté - Mbappé, Griezmann, Matuidi - Giroud.

Croatia: Subasic - Vrsaljko, Lovren, Vida, Strinic - Modric, Brozovic, Rakitic - Rebic, Mandzukic, Perisic.

[15:26]

We're almost there!

You put on a France team jersey, you painted the flag on your cheeks, you put on a blue-white-red wig? (I opted for the first two choices) Welcome to follow with us this small match on Sunday: the final of the Football World Cup between France and Croatia.
