Patrice Evra left "heartbroken" after correctly predicting World Cup final outcome

Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra correctly predicted that Argentina would beat France in the World Cup final on penalties - even though he admitted it would "break his heart" to see.

Evra, 41, clocked up 81 international caps for Les Bleus during an international career that spanned over a decade. The former left-back, who made a name for himself in the Premier League, saw his country win the World Cup for the second time in their history in 2018, but was not confident that they could replicate that feat this time around.

Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe starred in one of the most memorable World Cup finals in modern history, with the former bagging a brace and Mbappe plundering a remarkable hat-trick. With the scores level at 3-3 after extra-time, Lionel Scaloni's side went on to win a tense penalty shootout - just as Evra had predicted before the match.
