Emmanuel Macron: France president consoles players after World Cup final loss to Argentina

Macron, who was watching the game live at Lusail Stadium and reacting passionately throughout, made his way onto the pitch after the shootout to console French players.

The president was notably seen speaking to and embracing Mbappe, while Argentina goalkeeper Emi Martinez did so at the same time.
