The last Frenchman to.... conquer the arena was Kylian Mbappé. The Golden Boot he was holding was.. worthless. The silver medal he was wearing was just a gesture. Only one other. individual had ever accomplished what Mbappé had done, he scored a hat-trick in the World Cup final.

Emi Martinez couldn't react in time as the ball fizzed by him. Up until that point, Lionel Messi had completely dominated for Argentina, putting on one of the best performances of his fairytale career.
