France crowned World Champions with a 4-2 victory over Croatia

The French national team became the World Champions after defeating Croatia 4-2 at Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. The key to their success was the excellent performance of their forwards throughout the tournament. Griezmann and Mbappé made the difference with their goals, as they both scored 4 each.

However, renowned statistician Mr. Chip shared an interesting fact on his social media about French forward Olivier Giroud, who wears the number 9 jersey. Despite not scoring any goals in the World Cup, he played all seven matches for his country and was a key player in Didier Deschamps' strategic system. The Chelsea striker has gone home without a goal in his tally, something that has never happened in the history of a champion team.

"France #FRA is the FIRST team in the ENTIRE history of the World Cup to win the title without their starting center forward (Giroud) taking a single shot on target throughout the tournament," tweeted statistician 'Mister Chip' on his Twitter account.

Finally, when analyzing the performance of French forward Olivier Giroud in the seven matches he played for France, despite not taking any shots on goal, he made valuable tactical contributions. He marked opponents, broke up key plays, provided assists, and was excellent in both defensive and offensive aerial duels.
