2018 FIFA World Cup Final
In the last World Cup in 2014, Germany won. But this time, they didn't do well. They were kicked out in the group games in 2018. France had won before in 1998 when they beat Brazil. They had also come second in 2006 when Italy beat them. They reached the quarter-finals in the World Cup before this one, and they got second place in the Euro 2016. Croatia had never been in a final before. They had a good team with players like Luka Modrić, Ivan Rakitić, and Mario Mandžukić. People said this was a special generation for them. The final was the sixth time France and Croatia played against each other. France had won three times and two times they drew.
