The heart-wrenching end to the FIFA World Cup left the French team soul-shattered as they lost a chance of holding the FIFA world cup once again after coming so close to victory.

As a result, French President Emmanuel Macron proceeded to console a heartbroken Mbappe after the game. Recently, the emotional moment between Macron and the PSG star has drawn the attention of NBA fans, after triggering comparisons between Mbappe and LeBron James.

He scored another goal in a matter of minutes to level the score 2-2 at the end of 90 minutes. The game went into overtime as Messi and Mbappe both scored a goal during extra time, resulting in a 3-3 scoreline.
