All the numbers of the World Cup's champions
From Deschamps' record to Giroud's performance through the talisman named Pavard
July 16th, 2018
You already know everything about it, the French national team won the World Cup just played in Russia defeating Croatia 4-2 in the final match. Between Pogba who dabbed with Prime Minister Macron in the post-match, the delirium that took place on the Champs-Élysées throughout the night, the first page of L'Equipe and the acknowledgement of Kylian Mbappé as a symbol of a generation of young phenomena, we decided to let the numbers speak to analyze and explain this great success.
0
like the shots on targets made by Olivier Giroud during all seven games played by the Blues.
2
like the players who never made their debut, Alphonse Areola and Adil Rami.
3
as the coaches capable of winning the World Cup even by players: Didier Deschamps, Mario Zagallo and Franz Beckenbauer.
4
like the years that N'Golo Kanté took to move from Ligue 2 with Caen to win the World Cup.
6
