After the victory, French supporters from all the walks of life gathered on the streets to celebrate the World Cup victory. Another thing that was intrigued by the French victory was patriotism among the supporters as everyone was singing “La Marseillaise”.

The win was celebrated as the whole team took a ride in an open bus in a homecoming parade. During the parade, the players waved at the fans and showed them the world cup trophy. The whole parade was flooded with white, blue and red as there were French flags everywhere.

People from Paris and many other cities gathered and sang national anthem holding flags in their hands. It was reported that almost 1 million French supporters gathered at Champs Élysées when the final whistle blew on Sunday night.

People in the cars kept waving flags on Sunday and Monday. Moussa Sissoko also attended the team with his kids and said that there is no better opportunity for his kids to learn about their role models.

Emmanuel Macron, the French president thanked the national team to allow 66 million French people to believe.

French won the last world cup in 1998 when Zinedine Zidane’s diversity proved vital. At that time the French nation was suffering from the discrimination issues as the team was labeled as Arab, black and white.

While giving an interview, Daphné Bada 18 who joined the parade from a suburban town in the banlieue said that the only reason that no one is talking about the age, color and caste differences is that football team that has gathered people from all areas to one point. Celebrating the world cup victory like this is a historic moment for all of us, the university student further added.

Macron also invited the football team to the presidential palace. The president was also spotted jumping during the final.

Another citizen named Eric who brought his two sons to the celebration, said that they are all proud of being French. The 45-year-old is a health officer in Northern France. The French president hosted the team at his palace. While commenting on the French victory, the president said that all these kids allowed the 66 million French people to dream. He further said that the players are role models and examples for us and for our next generation.

Not everything was up to the expectations after the French win as police arrested 292 people when a number of people threw stones on the Champs Élysées. After that police reacted with the water cannon attack.

There was a touch of class from the president Macron as he invited a couple of young footballers from poorer suburbs at the reception ceremony of the French football team. This was very beautiful, as many of the French national team players started playing football from poorer suburbs of Paris.

According to the reports, police arrested more than 250 people after they threw stones on the Champs Élysées.

Addressing the team, the president told them to never forget where they were from, pointing to the young footballers and volunteers.

Several bus stations changed their names temporarily to honor the national team. Victor Hugo station changed its name to Victor Hugo Lloris after the name of the French goalkeeper and captain, Hugo Lloris. Champs-Élysées Clemenceau changed its name to Deschamps-Élysées Clemenceau.
