Didier Deschamps and Hugo Lloris react to "painful" World Cup final loss to Argentina

Hugo Lloris insists France can still be “proud” as he hailed a “special” performance from Kylian Mbappe.

France star Mbappe scored a hat trick, won the Golden Boot and yet still finished on the losing side as Lionel Messi helped Argentina win on penalties.

France captain Lloris said: “There were a lot of great players on the pitch. Messi and Mbappe are very special and were top tonight, top, top players for the team. It’s hard when you lose and you cannot find the right words because it’s too painful. But we gave it our best shot from the start to the end of this tournament and we should be proud of that.
