Kylian Mbappe consoled by French president Emmanuel Macron after World Cup loss

French president Emmanuel Macron attempted to console Kylian Mbappe after France 's dramatic World Cup final loss to Argentina.

Through Mbappe's hat-trick, Les Blues fought back twice and managed a 3-3 draw after extra-time. But there was no stopping Lionel Messi 's side from lifting the trophy after a penalty shootout, as Argentina 'keeper Emiliano Martinez superbly saved two spot kicks.

Post-match, Mbappe and his teammates were devastated, prompting Marcon to console him. The French president has a good relationship with the 23-year-old superstar, who plays for France's biggest club, Paris Saint-Germain. Macron could be seen putting his arm around a crestfallen Mbappe on the pitch, no-doubt giving him words of encouragement.
