Pogba peaks and Mbappe mesmerises as France are crowned world champions
After 32 days and 64 games, it is France who take home the World Cup after a pulsating 4-2 win over Croatia in Moscow.
For our final episode, Natalie Sawyer is joined by Oliver Kay and Matt Hughes to analyse the final. What next for Kylian Mbappe, a player with the world at his feet? And will Paul Pogba be allowed to replicate that level of performance under Mourinho at Manchester United?
