What a World Cup final we all have witnessed today! This epic battle for eternal glory between France and Argentina produced one of the greatest FIFA World Cup finals ever. Nail-biting to the end, it had everyone at the edge of their seats. And when we say everyone, we mean George Russell, too!

As the match progressed, Russell came onto his Instagram to declare that he was team Messi. But as the evening went on, France mounted a comeback, which almost materialized. But when all of this was happening, one man was the most anxious of them all.

The nail-biting end to the final between France and Argentina got the better of Russell. His girlfriend, Carmen Mundt, took to her Instagram account to share a live update on how the Mercedes star was coping. And as it turns out, George Russell is the kind of man who’d rather risk his life racing than watch a nerve-wrangling match of soccer.
