France beat Croatia 4-2 in the final in Moscow on Sunday to win the tournament for the second time in 20 years.

They were given a raucous reception at Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport before their parade through the capital city.

The team will also receive their country’s highest accolade – the Legion d’Honneur.
