France became the sixth country to win the World Cup more than once with their win.
Didier Deschamps became the third person to have won the World Cup as both a player and manager, after Mário Zagallo and Franz Beckenbauer.
The final was the highest scoring since 1966, and the highest score in regular time since 1958.
The medals were presented on the pitch to both teams by presidents Putin, Macron, and Grabar-Kitarović amid a heavy rainstorm.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino handed the trophy to French captain Hugo Lloris.
As Lloris raised the trophy, a short version of the tournament's official song "Live It Up" was played.

Croatian captain Luka Modrić won the Golden Ball as best player of the tournament.
France's Antoine Griezmann, the final's man of the match, also won the Bronze Ball and the Silver Boot award with four goals and two assists.
Kylian Mbappé won the Best Young Player award for the tournament.

Large crowds, including 90,000 people at the Eiffel Tower fanzone and an estimated million on the Champs-Élysées, celebrated the victory in Paris.
The celebrations were marred by instances of rioting that were broken up by police, as well as the deaths of at least two people during celebrations elsewhere in the country, one man died after diving into a shallow canal and another died after crashing his car into a tree, RATP, the operator of the Paris Métro system, temporarily renamed several stations in honour of the team and its World Cup victory.

On 16 July, more than 550,000 fans welcomed the Croatian team home in the capital city of Zagreb, in the single largest public gathering in Croatia's history, where a six-hour-long bus tour brought them from Zagreb Airport to Ban Jelačić Square.
In the following days, players were all welcomed individually in their hometowns as well.
