Riot police have been deployed across France after French supporters clashed with Moroccan fans following the World Cup semi-final between the two countries.
France booked their place in Sunday’s final against Argentina with a 2-0 win over Morocco on Wednesday night. Goals from Theo Hernandez and Randal Kolo Muani were enough to send Didier Deschamps side into the showpiece at the Lusail Stadium, where they will defend the trophy they won four years ago in Russia.
Victory saw France supporters take to the streets to celebrate, but it also saw them clash with Moroccans in some areas. France is a former colonial ruler of Morocco and has a large Moroccan diaspora, estimated to number around one million people, which is concentrated in Paris and the Mediterranean coast.
