In 2018 in Moscow, the French national team continued its legendary story by winning the World Cup for the second time in history. The young, explosive, and pᴀssionate Les Bleus defeated Croatia 4-2 in a dramatic, beautiful, and uncompromising final.

It was a night of young stars. Kylian Mbappé, 19 years old, became the second youngest player in history to score in a World Cup final after Pelé. Antoine Griezmann opened the scoring with a delicate free-kick, Paul Pogba unleashed a powerful sH๏τ from outside the box, and Mario Mandžukić scored an own goal. Hugo Lloris stood firm like a steel wall in goal. And above all, coach Didier Deschamps – who lifted the trophy in 1998 as captain – has now become a world champion both as a player and a coach, a rare record.

The “golden generation” with Mbappé, Pogba, Kanté, Griezmann, Varane… not only possessed great talent but also a perfect balance of experience and youth. They didn’t just win with goals; they won with speed, high-pressure pressing, and a fierce team spirit.

More than six years have pᴀssed, but the memory of the Luzhniki final still stirs the hearts of many football fans. For Vietnamese fans, the 2018 World Cup was a World Cup of sleepless nights: the whole family gathered in front of the screen, cheering as Mbappé sprinted like a rocket, and applauding non-stop when Deschamps lifted the Jules Rimet trophy for the second time.

France in 2018 were not just champions – they were living proof of the power of a properly nurtured golden generation.

What moment do you remember most from Les Bleus that year? Mbappé’s goal, Pogba’s spectacular strike, or Deschamps’ joyful smile on the podium?
