Macron ‘immensely proud’ that France in World Cup final

Emmanuel Macron stepped up to applaud after the 2-0 victory while watching the game at Al Bayt Stadium next to FIFA President Gianni Infantino. On Sunday, France will take on Argentina in the championship game. The President played left defense when he was a schoolboy.

“I am quite proud of my nation. After the game, Macron told reporters, “I’m really thrilled. I want the French to experience this straightforward joy.

The “excellent” Moroccan squad, Africa’s first-ever semifinalist, received praise from the French president.

The Moroccans have performed exceptionally well, he continued. I want to let the Moroccans know that they have a fantastic team. Tell them about our friendship, please.

France ruled Morocco from 1912 to 1956. The game on Wednesday stirred up everything complicated about the relationship—where France still exerts significant economic, political, and cultural influence—for both countries

Macron said that he will return to Qatar on Sunday to watch the championship game at Lusail Stadium. He made light of the fact that he was “too superstitious” to make a prediction. But he was ready to predict that France will win before the game against Morocco.

He also went to a bazaar in Doha, Qatar’s capital, while he was in the Gulf country. Before getting into a car with tight security for the 50-kilometer (30-mile) travel from Doha to Al Khor for the game, Macron went past a crowd at Souq Waqif while donning a scarf with the colors of the Qatari flag.

Macron opted to attend the game instead of a conference of leaders from the European Union and southeast Asia in Brussels.
