The public was impatiently waiting for it. On Sunday evening, the Blues celebrated their title of world champions in style, two months after the end of the World Cup in Russia. A celebration that the fans had hoped for following the disappointment of the Blues' return to France, the day after the final. The French team had gone down the Champs-Élysées by bus in barely twelve minutes. However, hundreds of thousands of supporters had turned up and had to wait several hours for a very late bus. After the express descent, the fans had expressed their disappointment, as had the players who confided that this moment had been too hasty. On Sunday evening, at the Stade de France, after the France - Netherlands match, the French Football Federation organized a celebration for the players and their public. A guard of honor formed by the Blues' staff, at one end, coach Didier Deschamps, at the other, the World Cup. Each player is called, salutes the cup and crowd, then falls into the coach's arms. Some of course took advantage of this moment to put on a show, like Antoine Griezmann and his famous little dance, Paul Pogba and his dab and Benjamin Pavard welcomed by his overexcited teammates singing his song. Then, the Blues, World Cup in hand, did a lap of honor accompanied by Magic System and Vegedream. The evening ended with a clapping led by captain Hugo Lloris from the stands, and by the essential and eternal intergenerational anthem of the Blues, "I Will Survive".
