Mendy is the happiest man alive

After France’s World Cup final win against Croatia yesterday afternoon, President Emmanuel Macron joined the squad to celebrate in the changing room.

The majority of the squad were dancing among the joyful atmosphere, Benjamin Mendy in particular. The Manchester City left-back has won the Premier League and the World Cup this year despite hardly playing at all in either competition. It’s safe to say he is living his best life, lapping it all up and who can blame him?

Mendy managed to get Macron to join in on the celebratory dances too, as the pair dabbed alongside Paul Pogba.

It was a beautiful moment for France, who won their first World Cup since 1998, having lost a final 12 years ago to Italy.

History was made as Didier Deschamps became the third person ever to win the World Cup both as a player and as a manager, while Kylian Mbappé became the third teenager to play in a World Cup final.
