Manchester United defender Raphael Varane has outlined his pride at the France squad following a gut-wrenching World Cup final defeat to Argentina on Sunday afternoon.
In a truly memorable showpiece, Argentina captain Lionel Messi (2) and France sensation Kylian Mbappe (3) traded blows at the Lusail Stadium as the two sides had to be separated by a shootout. At that stage, goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez took centre stage for the South Americans with one telling save.
France midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni also missed the target. It brought agony for Varane and Les Bleus while his United defensive partner, Lisandro Martinez, celebrated an iconic victory for Argentina as they claimed the biggest trophy on the planet for a third time.
