Breaking a few curses in its path, the French team managed to advance to a World Cup final for the second consecutive time after defeating its counterpart from Morocco in the semifinals of the World Cup in Qatar . The effusiveness was such that even the president of the nation, Emmanuel Macron joined the festivities in the locker room as one more player.
